My favorite salads are ones with lots of different things going on: some kind of fruit, some kind of nut, some kind of cheese. And always a little hint of sweetness in the dressing.

| 2 | whole apples, cored and sliced very thin |
| 1/2 cup | pecan halves |
| 1/4 cup | dried cherries |
| 6 ounces | , weight blue cheese, cut into chunks |
| 1 tablespoon | (heaping) dijon mustard |
| 1 tablespoon | maple syrup (more to taste) |
| 1 teaspoon | apple cider vinegar (more to taste) |
| 1/4 cup | olive oil |
| salt and pepper, to taste |
Directions:
Add greens, apple slices, pecan halves, dried cherries, and blue cheese chunks into a large salad bowl. In a small jar, mix Dijon, maple syrup, vinegar, olive oil, and salt and pepper. Put the lid on the jar and shake well to mix. Pour a little salad dressing over the top of the salad and toss to combine. Taste salad and add more salad dressing to taste. Serve with french fries. Just kidding. I think.
