Sarah’s Apple Walnut Salad with Maple Dressing

When reading this recipe, some may think the ingredient combination is odd, but the bite of the Gorgonzola cheese pairs nicely with the sweetness of the dressing and the apples. I inherited this wonderful recipe from my cousin Sarah, but changed it slightly when I discovered my love for Gorgonzola cheese in salads.

Enjoy!

Dressing:

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup regular maple syrup

3 tablespoons white wine vinegar

Salad:

2 Granny Smith Apples (peeled, cored and sliced)

½ cup toasted walnuts, chopped

1/4 crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

2. Place apple slices, walnuts and Gorgonzola cheese on top of baby greens.

3. In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, syrup, white wine vinegar and sugar.

5. Drizzle dressing over salad and enjoy!
