How to Make Autumn Salad With Bleu Cheese

1. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
2. Secure the lid and shake vigorously until the dressing is emulsified.
3. Refrigerate the dressing for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4. While the dressing chills, chop 1 medium apple (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji) into bite-sized pieces.
5. Gently toss the chopped apples with 1 tablespoon of the chilled dressing to prevent browning.
6. In a large bowl, combine 5 ounces of mixed salad greens.

8. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
9. Garnish with 1/4 cup of toasted pecans and serve immediately.
