Feel free to vary the lettuce type and the kind of nuts, maybe even use pears or cantaloupe for the fruit.  Salads are usually built by inspiration and what is on hand.

  • 6 whole red apples, cored and sliced very thin
  • roasted walnuts
  • 1 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 c  Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 c honey

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Spread nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
