On An Apple Roll

 Tis' the season

for some apple treats from Ever Ready.

I saved you the last piece of
Old Fashioned Apple Pie (recipe link below) 
https://sockfairies.blogspot.com/2020/09/old-fashioned-apple-pie.html
and used the leftover apples for 
Mixed Greens with Apple Pecan Grape Salad with Maple Vinaigrette
Cook's Notes: Maple Cider Vinaigrette is enough for 4-5 salads.
Salad Ingredients:
  • Mixed greens about 6-8 cups to serve 4-5 people (I used a combination of baby spinach leaves and chopped Romaine)
  • 1 large Granny Smith apple and 1 Honeycrisp apple, diced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1-1/2 cup halved red seedless grapes
  • 1 cup candied pecans or toasted pecans
  • Optional: ½ cup crumbled blue or feta cheese
Salad Dressing Ingredients:
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon apple pie spice mix
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil 
Salad Directions:
  • Mix greens with apples, grapes, onions, and pecans.
Dressing Directions:
  • In a blender add all ingredients and gradually add in olive oil. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate dressing until needed.
