Original Recipe Yield 10 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup cranberries
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 cup red onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon-style prepared mustard
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 10 cups mixed salad greens, rinsed and dried
  • 2 Red Delicious apples, cored and thinly sliced

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the walnuts out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly toasted.
  2. In a food processor, combine the cranberries, vinegar, onion, sugar, and mustard. Puree until smooth; gradually add oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a salad bowl, toss together the greens, apples, and enough of the cranberry mixture to coat. Sprinkle with walnuts, and serve.
