Instructions
Creating this delicious Brie Cheddar Apple Salad is simple. Follow these steps to make it:
1. Prepare the Greens: Rinse the mixed greens under cold water and pat them dry with a clean towel or use a salad spinner.
2. Slice the Cheese: Cut the Brie cheese into thin slices or wedges. If you prefer, you can also cube the cheddar cheese.
3. Slice the Apple: Core the apple and slice it thinly. Leave the skin on for added texture and nutrition.
4. Combine Ingredients: In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens, Brie, cheddar, sliced apple, walnuts or pecans (if using), and dried cranberries or raisins.
5. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette dressing over the salad. Start with a smaller amount, as you can always add more.
6. Toss Gently: Using salad tongs or two large spoons, gently toss the salad to combine all ingredients without damaging the cheese or greens.
7. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
8. Serve Immediately: For the best texture and flavor, serve the salad right after tossing.
