Fall Salad With Apple Cider Vinaigrette - Dash Of Mandi

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.
