Description
The flavor triangle of smoky bacon, tangy blue cheese and slightly sweet apple creates captivating counterpoints in this simple salad.
Chef's Tip: Sprinkle a few dried cranberries on top for extra color and flavor. Shake the vinaigrette in a Mason jar for easy mixing. Makes it easy to refrigerate any leftovers too.
