Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Mixed autumn greens (kale, arugula, spinach, or Swiss chard)
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Tamari (or soy sauce)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 small Shallot (finely minced)
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Dried cherries
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the tamari and toss to coat evenly.
Roast the walnuts in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
While the walnuts cool, prepare the vinaigrette. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, minced shallot, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper until emulsified. Adjust seasoning if needed.
In a large salad bowl, combine the autumn greens, dried cherries, and the tamari-roasted walnuts.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately as a side dish or light main course. Enjoy the crisp tangy flavors of fall!
