Autumn Salad With Bleu Cheese

Little Bee's Note:

This salad is fabulous. I love the taste of the Apple with the Bleu Cheese. A very pretty salad sure to impress!

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons sugar substitute (I like Splenda, and just use 2 of the small packets)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 8 cups torn chilled salad greens (I like a mix of Field Greens with this)
• 1 cup diced red apple
• 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (i use a little more)
• 1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans

Directions:

1. Combine the first 6 ingredients in a jar. Cover and shake
2. vigorously. Chill to blend flavors. Before preparing salad, chop the
3. apples and put a little of the dressing on the apples to prevent
4. them from browning. Shake dressing again and toss with salad greens,
5. drained apples, and bleu cheese. Garnish with toasted pecans.

Simple and tastes great! Thanks for a new salad idea.

What a great salad and dressing combo! The light, citrus flavor of the dressing is the perfect match for the tartness of the blue cheese and the crunchy apples. I used gala apples and used baby spinach for my greens. I'll be making this again. Thanx for an easy and delicious salad.
