Ingredients

Maple Vinegairette

  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 3 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt or to taste

  • 1 cup red seedless grapes sliced in half
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries
  • ¼ cup toasted pecans chopped
  • 3 ounces smoked Gouda cheese
  • ¼ pound maple smoked turkey breast from the deli

Instructions

  • To make the dressing, combine all ingredients into a small jar. Cover and shake well. Add extra salt and pepper if necessary, to taste. Set the dressing aside.
  • Wash and dry the lettuce in a salad spinner or on paper towels. Stack the leaves together and slice or chop them into bite-size pieces, no larger than 1 ½ inches.
  • Quarter the apple and cut it into ¾-inch cubes. If storing it for later, toss the cubes with fresh lemon juice to prevent browning.
  • Cut the Gouda into ½-inch cubes
  • Cut the entire ¼ pound of turkey into 1-inch square pieces
  • Place all ingredients into a large mixing bowl and toss together.
  • Drizzle with salad dressing as desired, and toss to combine.

Notes

To prep or portion this salad for later in the week,  wrap the washed lettuce in a damp paper towel and keep each ingredient in a separate small bowl or plastic bag. Combine the salad ingredients and dressing just before serving.
Prepped ingredients will keep for 1 week in the refrigerator
