What ingredients are in an Envy™ Apple Wreath Salad?

For the Salad

  • 10 oz Baby Arugula
  • 3 Envy™ apples, sliced
  • 9 oz goat cheese, crumbled
  • 3 oz pomegranate arils 
  • 3 oz pecans, toasted

For the Balsamic Dressing

  • 1 tablespoons honey

  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly crushed black pepper finely ground
  • 1 large garlic clove minced
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

If you don’t like a balsamic dressing (or don’t feel like making your own), you can use any of your favorite dressings.

How do I make the Envy™ Apple Wreath Salad?

In a small serving bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients with some salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.

Place the dressing bowl in the center of a large board or platter. Arrange arugula around the dressing bowl in a wreath shape.

Place the Envy™ apple slices on top of the arugula.

Sprinkle on the goat cheese, pomegranate arils and pecans on top of the salad.

You can add dressing directly to the Envy™ Apple Wreath Salad, or you can leave it dry for your guests to add their own.
