I served this Chopped Apple Salad as a side dish when I hosted a Soup Swap Party at our house. It was perfect. I made it ahead of time, using a mixture of dark leafy greens and tossing the apples in lemon juice to keep them gorgeous and put it in the refrigerator.
When it was time to serve I simply tossed it with the AHmazing Pomegranate Vinaigrette and placed it on the buffet. I served the Blue Cheese on the side for two reasons. Some folks are not blue cheese crazy (I know, I know....sad but true) and this salad is completely #FMD friendly and perfect for my eating plan without the Blue Cheese. I confess, that I cheated and added Blue Cheese to my salad and it was worth every bite!!
Chopped Apple Salad
1 lg. handful of dark leafy greens per person
1 apple for every 2 persons, try to use several different varieties
Blue Cheese to taste
1/2 c. pomegranate juice
1/4 c. olive oil
1 T. agave syrup
salt and pepper to taste
Place the greens and apples in a large bowl. Place the juice, olive oil, agave, salt and pepper in a small jar with a lid. Shake until well combined. Pour desired amount over salad and toss to coat. Sprinkle with Blue Cheese or serve Blue Cheese on the side. Serve with any remaining dressing, allowing people to add more if desired. Print Recipe
