Mixed Greens' Salad With Apples And Maple-Walnut Oil Dressing - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 cups mixed greens, rinsed
    1 cup braeburn apple, julienned, cut 2-inches long (can substitute similar apple such as Honey Crisp, etc.)
    Dressing
    2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
    2 tablespoons maple syrup (NOT imitation)
    2 teaspoons brown mustard (or Dijon)
    2 1/2 teaspoons walnut oil
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon cayenne
    Garnish
    1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
Preparation
    In small glass bowl, prepare salad dressing first and set aside.
    Use salad spinner to remove excess moisture from the greens.
    *In large non-reactive serving bowl place the sliced apples and toss them with a little bit of apple cider to halt oxidizing.
    Next, add the salad greens, a few tablespoons of the salad dressing and toss gently again with tongs to mix.
    Serve remaining salad dressing on side along with the toasted walnuts if using.
    *For best results, cut up apples and toss with the vinegar right before serving.
