The Ultimate Fruit, Cheese & Nut Salad1

Tags : 

I’m a firm believer that every BBQ or party must have at least several healthy choices available for guests to nosh on. Nobody wants to arrive and only be served mayo-loaded potato salad, overly salted potato chips, popular dogs, cake from your supermarket and cantaloupe that likes like it’s away from a GMO stock.
Okay, maybe those are just the parties I’ve been to. Whomp whomp.
Still, it just might time to step it up a notch with an outrageously very good salad packed with fresh fruit, bright greens, toasty nuts and a to die for balsamic dressing. Wouldn’t you agree?
This salad was based off a recipe we enjoyed while we were back Pensacola, Florida last November. We ceased by SoGourmet following a wine and cheese tasting and the chef delighted us along with his famous SoChopped salad. At that point I felt as if I might in fact burst, but determined that a few bites from the salad was required to become both appreciative and beef liver lab graceful. In the end, he did make it for all of us.
5 minutes later the entire salad was completely GONE. Tony and I actually forked our method through a giant bowlful with zero regrets. Between bites we kept asking one another, How is certainly this salad SO good?”
I thought probably we were in a delirious food coma. I mean, could a salad really be THAT great?
I wouldn’t know for sure until we managed to get back home and I attemptedto recreate the salad myself.
Turns out I wasn’t crazy. The salad surprised us with delight and flavor the next time we enjoyed it too, therefore of course I had developed to dub with the ultimate fruit, cheese and nut salad name. Because.
Wanna know what else this salad is normally? Versatile.
Try it with peach and blueberries. Or perhaps juicy strawberries. Add in a little avocado in the event that’s your thing. Switch up the nuts to almonds or pecans.
The Ultimate Fruit, Cheese & Nut Salad
Prep time:
10 mins
Total period:
10 mins
Ingredients
For the salad:
5 oz organic baby spinach or planting season greens (about 1 package)
2 small organic apples, cut into thin slices
1 cup grapes, chopped up lengthwise
1/4 cup crumbled feta
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic and dijon mustard collectively until steady and well combined.
In a big dish, toss lettuce, apples and grapes together. Pour dressing over the fruits and lettuce and toss again to combine. Best salad with feta crumbles and toasted walnuts. Serve immediately. Salad acts 4.
This salad is best enjoyed immediately after it is made. If you are getting it to a celebration, I recommend waiting around to add within the dressing, nut products and feta until before you serve it.
