Method
Preparing the Salad
Wash and Prepare Greens
Rinse the mixed greens thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Spin dry in a salad spinner, or pat dry with paper towels.
Slice the Apples
Core and slice the apple into thin wedges. If desired, toss the apple slices with a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent browning.
Combine Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the washed mixed greens, sliced apples, candied walnuts, and crumbled gorgonzola cheese. Toss gently to mix the ingredients evenly.
Making the Dressing
Blend the Dressing Ingredients
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard until well combined and emulsified.
Season the Dressing
Add salt and black pepper to the dressing to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serving the Salad
Dress the Salad
Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are coated with the dressing.
Serve
Divide the salad into individual serving bowls or plates. Enjoy your fresh garden salad!
