Blue Cheese, Walnut, and Apple Salad


This has to be one of my favorite salads. It's so easy and so amazingly delicious. You can use any blue cheese, that's up to your taste, but you'll LOVE the flavor combination of the apples and blue cheese, it's pretty amazing!

6-8 cups lettuce, spinach, baby greens, whatever you like :)
1/2 cup toasted walnuts, or whatever you prefer (candied is alright, but toasted tastes better)
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
2-3 medium apples, green and/or red (the tangy and sweet are great together)

Mix together lettuce, walnuts, and cheese. Cut apples into slices and lay on top of mixed salad for a nice presentation. Serve with Vinaigrette (recipe follows) or a store bought Pomegranate vinaigrette tastes really great too. You can find a really delicious Pom. Vin. at Trader Joes.
Chill Salad. Serves 6-8

Good 'Ol Vinaigrette
1 tbsp. shallot, minced
1/2 cup balsamic or red wine vinegar
1/2 olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
