Ingredients

Dressing

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste

Salad

2 Envy™ Apples cored and cut into matchsticks
3 cups matchstick carrots
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1.4 cup blue cheese crumbles
1/2 cup dried sweetened cranberries
1/2 cup pepitas
1/4 cup chives

Instructions

Dressing

Add the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to a small mason jar. Put the lid on tight and shake the jar to mix your dressing ingredients. Set the dressing aside on the counter for later.

Salad

Use a knife to cut off each side of the Envy™ Apples so only the core is left. Cut each apple piece into thin slices. Keep your slices together and turn them on the side so they are stacked on top of each other. Cut thin slices through your stack of apples to make matchsticks.You should get about three cups of matchstick apples.
Place your matchstick apples in a large bowl and toss them with lemon juice so they don't turn brown.
Add the matchstick carrots, blue cheese crumbles, and dried cranberries and toss to mix.
Add the vinaigrette and use tongs to mix until the salad ingredients are lightly coated with dressing.
Top the salad with chives and pepitas.
Serve and enjoy!
