¾cupchopped pecans
1large apple,cubed (I used Pink Lady)
1cupshredded cheese,such as swiss, gouda, or manchego
½cupdried cranberries
Instructions
For the vinaigrette:
Combine the vinaigrette ingredients in a 16 oz jar with a tight fitting lid. Screw on the lid and shake until combined.
For the salad:
Add all of the salad ingredients to a large bowl, reserving a few tablespoons of all topping ingredients (pecans, apple, cheese, and cranberries) for the top.
Toss half of the vinaigrette with the salad mixture. Add more if desired. Top with the reserved topping ingredients and serve immediately.
Notes
You can substitute one ripe pear (chopped) in place of the apple. You can also substitute walnuts in place of the pecans.Don't have a shallot? Replace it with 1 tablespoon of chopped yellow onion.
