Honeycrisp Apple Salad with Candied Walnuts and Sweet Spiced Cider Vinaigrette

Ingredients:

• 2 heads frisee, chopped into bite-size pieces
• 4 cups wild arugula
• 1 cup candied walnuts
• 2 large Honeycrisp apples, sliced into thin matchsticks
• Spiced Cider Vinaigrette (recipe below)

Spiced Cider Vinaigrette:

• 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 1/2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons walnuts, lightly chopped (you can use candied or plain)
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon plus a pinch salt
• Pinch cumin
• Pinch curry powder
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons canola oil

Directions:

-In a large bowl, add the frisee, arugula, walnuts and about half of the matchstick-sliced apples, and drizzle lightly with some of the Spiced Cider Vinaigrette;

-Next, add equal portions of the salad to bowls or plates, and then top each salad with equal portions of the remaining matchstick-sliced apples and another generous drizzle of the vinaigrette;

-Serve as is, or garnish with a few additional candied walnuts.

Vinaigrette:

-Add all ingredients through the curry powder into the bowl of a food processor, and process until everything is well combined and smooth; with the processor running, slowly drizzle in the oil and continue to process until the vinaigrette is well emulsified and blended.

(*This makes about 1 cup, so you may have additional dressing left over which you can store in the fridge.)
