Apple Tomato Salad

Ingredients

• 2 cups green leaf lettuce, torn into bite size pieces

• 1 cup mustard greens, torn into bite size pieces (optional)

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

• 1 medium Gala apple, thinly sliced

• ¼ of a medium red onion, thinly sliced

• 2 Tbsp crumbled blue cheese (optional)

• 4 tsp chopped pecans, toasted

• 2 Tbsp cider vinegar

• 4 tsp olive oil

• 1 Tbsp honey or agave

• ⅛ tsp salt

• ⅛ tsp black pepper

Directions

1. If including mustard greens, massage thoroughly with a dash of salt and olive oil. A few minutes of massaging will transform bitter mustard greens into a mellow, well-balanced salad green.

2. Arrange leaf lettuce, massaged mustard greens, tomatoes, apple, and red onion on four salad plates. Sprinkle with blue cheese and pecans.

3. For dressing, in a screw-top jar combine vinegar, olive oil, honey or agave, salt, and pepper. Cover and shake well. Drizzle dressing over salads.
