My friend, who was over for dinner, found a new vinaigrette loaded with white cheddar and chives, so we made a simple salad with mixed greens, apple, sunflower seeds, and croutons to pair with cheese & potato soup and crusty bread. The dressing was slightly sweet and tangy with a wonderful white cheddar and chive flavor, and it paired nicely with the salad. I also think this salad would be delicious with Fran’s simple vinaigrette or a creamy blue cheese dressing.

Mixed Greens with Apples, Sunflower Seeds, and Croutons

Dressing:

White cheddar and chive vinaigrette, Fran’s simple vinaigrette, or a creamy blue cheese

Salad:

- 6 cups of mixed greens
- 1 apple, chopped
- 1 tbsp roasted sunflower seeds
- ½ cup herb croutons

How to Make Mixed Greens with Apples, Sunflower Seeds, and Croutons:

Make Fran’s simple vinaigrette or a creamy blue cheese dressing if not using store-bought dressing.

Prepare the salad by combining the mixed greens, sliced apple, sunflower seeds, and croutons in a large bowl.

Serve the salad with some of the well-shaken vinaigrette and toss until evenly coated.

Serve immediately. Enjoy.
