Mixed Greens Salad with Maple Curry Vinaigrette

 At a recent dinner at the Tennessee Cookhouse in Leadville, Colorado, we were treated to this delicious salad.  Wanting to enjoy it again, I created my version.   The sweetness of the blueberries, the tart apple and the salty feta combine perfectly with the maple curry salad dressing. A perfect salad for fall. 

Here it is! Enjoy!



Ingredients

For the Salad:

Mixed baby greens

Fresh blueberries

Walnut halves

Thinly sliced  granny smith apple, cored and cut horizonally

Feta Cheese


For the Vinaigrette:

3 Tablespoons maple syrup

4 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar

3 Tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tsp. curry powder

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. black pepper


Instructions

For the vinaigrette, whisk together olive oil, maple syrup, vinegar and mustard. Mix in curry powder, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Allow to sit at least 10 minutes in the refrigerator to blend the flavors before using.

Place salad greens in large bowl. Toss with dressing to evenly coat the greens. Place at portion on each individual serving plate.  Top with an apple slice. Sprinkle with blueberries, walnuts and a small amount of feta cheese. Serve immediately.
