Fall Salad With Apple Cider Vinaigrette

Fall salad with apple cider vinaigrette – spring mix with honeycrisp apple, manchego, chopped dates, dried cranberries, rosemary marcona almonds and farro.

This delicious autumn salad was inspired by True Food Kitchen’s chopped salad. I got it there last week and knew I had to re-create it. I changed a few things. For example, I didn’t add jicama. Also, I swapped the champagne vinaigrette for an apple cider vinaigrette. True Food’s is absolutely amazing. However, this homemade version is just as good. Well, at least I think so 😉

I only have one other Fall salad on my blog. So, I figured one more wouldn’t hurt! We all like options. The apple cider vinaigrette just screams fall. I added a little maple syrup to it which was the perfect sweet addition. Every bite of this salad is delicious.

What you need for this recipe:

I got everything from Trader Joe’s besides the dijon for in the salad dressing. I love Trader Joe’s but their dijon is not my favorite. Luckily, you can find good quality dijon anywhere! Also, in my home it’s a staple.

• Spring mix
• Honeycrisp apple, or any red apple of choice will do
• Manchego cheese
• Medjool dates
• Dried cranberries, I get the unsweetened ones from Trader Joe’s
• Rosemary marcona almonds
• Farro
• Olive oil
• Apple cider vinegar
• Maple syrup
• Dijon
• Salt and pepper

This fall salad with apple cider vinaigrette would be great to bring to a friendsgiving or Thanksgiving! We could all use a little greens on the table for these gatherings. It will balance out the mashed potatoes and stuffing perfectly.

This recipe will go great with:

• Dijon chicken apple cheddar sliders
• Honey pear sage margaritas
• Pear and caramelized onion pizza
• Butternut squash raviolis with sage butter
• Sheet pan sweet potato gnocchi dinner
• Butternut squash and apple soup

I hope you enjoy this salad recipe as much as I did!
