Spinach Apple & Blueberry Salad

This is a refreshing salad to serve as a side.Ingredients

    • 3 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon prepared mustard (used stone ground w mustard seeds or Dijon)
    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
    • 1 golden delicious apple, halved, cored, thinly sliced
    • 1/2 cup blueberries
    • 3/4 lb fresh spinach, washed, stems removed, leaves torn
    • 1/2 cup toasted pecans

Directions

  1. In serving bowl, whisk oil, vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt and pepper until thick.
  2. Add apple.
  3. Toss until apples are covered with dressing.
  4. Place spinach on top, then pecans.*
  5. Just before serving, toss.

tip: *glaze the pecans by stirring them with 1 tablespoon sugar in a medium non-stick frying pan over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar melts. Pour them out on waxed paper and separate with your spoon while still warm. If you do this, you don’t need to toast the pecans. It takes about 5 minutes or so for the sugar to melt.
