Certain ingredients were just made to be enjoyed together. Strawberries and cream, peas and carrots, rosemary and pork, chocolate and peanut butter….you get my drift. To me, some of the most harmonious of Fall ingredients are apples, pecans and blue cheese. All of those ingredients when tossed with a tender mix of greens and served with a lovely Dijon mustard vinaigrette come together to form what I call, The Perfect Fall Salad. A delicious mix of flavors and textures that will immediately put a smile on your face.
