Welcome back to Fall Flavors week! I had intended to share a recipe on Wednesday, but fell prey to the Curse of the Missing Recipe. I’m sure my fellow bloggers are familiar with this foe. The paper with that recipe is around here somewhere, but darned if I could find it when I needed it.
It will no doubt turn up later. When it does, it will find it’s way onto Palatable.
However, all is good for today! So I’m happily sharing my Apple and Spinach Salad recipe with you all. I specify only a crisp apple here. At this time of year there are a wide variety of apples available that fit the bill.
This salad combines the apple of your choice with a mix of leafy greens, red onion, crunchy walnuts, dried cranberries and goat cheese crumbles. Finish with a homemade vinaigrette dressing and you have a refreshing and delicious salad perfect for Fall.
