Falls Best Tossed Salad with Apple Butter Vinaigrette

"For a healthy holiday side dish or a simple weeknight dinner, this Tossed Salad with Apple Butter Vinaigrette boasts the best ingredients that autumn has to offer! Full of crisp green apples, crunchy toasted walnuts, sweet cranberries and rich blue cheese, it’s a hearty, fresh, and satisfying recipe that celebrates the season. Since I love a salad that combines a variety of textures and flavors, I knew that this recipe would be delicious. Apples, walnuts (or pecans), cheese, and sweet dried cranberries transform the dish from boring leafy greens into a simple-yet-elegant side.

"While I think that it would be an ideal lighter component to a rich, festive Thanksgiving spread, I also think that the tossed salad works well for a regular weeknight dinner. It’s so easy to 'toss' together that it’s ready in a matter of minutes, and it can be prepped in advance for even faster meals. If you add leftover roasted turkey, chopped rotisserie chicken, or even a nice piece of fish, you’ll have a nourishing and fresh entree in less than 30 minutes!

"Want to serve this as a main dish? Just add some rotisserie chicken on top for extra protein, increase the amount of nuts and cheese to make it more filling, or just serve a nice loaf of fresh bread on the side."
