- In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, diced apples, cranberries, and toasted walnuts.
- If using, sprinkle crumbled blue cheese over the salad.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! For best results, serve the salad as soon as it is dressed.
Notes
This salad is best served fresh. You can prepare the dressing ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Feel free to add other ingredients like pecans, dried cherries, or goat cheese to customize your salad.
