Light, refreshing, sweet & savory, just bursting with Fall flavors.
Sometime I just love a salad for lunch. This was a real treat. I started with fresh tender mixed baby greens, then I added chopped apples, paper thin onions, paper thin celery, dried cranberries, toasted hazel nuts, three Gardien chik’n tenders chopped and the crown jewel of flavor, MACADAMIAN NUT BRIE. I made the brie a few days ago and have been spreading on apples, but it is truly divine on this salad. It is mellow and sweet with just the right amount of tart.
I topped the salad off with a sweet and spicy vinaigrette I made from balsamic and apple cider vinegars, a little olive oil, Dijon mustard, a few drops of agave, and tablespoon of each fig butter and apple cranberry butter. The “butters” and like a thick jam or preserves. Heaven. The Dijon really gives it a kick. Perfect balance.
I am happy and satisfied, now, what to make for dinner?????
