Maple Dressing
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar -- or white balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 cup olive oil
Salad
1 bag mixed baby greens (about 10 cups lightly -- (5 ounce) packed)
2 Granny Smith apples -- peeled, cored, and sliced
1/2 cup dried tart cherries
1/2 cup walnuts -- toasted
For dressing:
Whisk mayonnaise, maple syrup, vinegar, and sugar in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in oil until mixture thickens slightly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Dressing can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewhisk before using.) (I omit the sugar. It isn't really needed.)
For salad:
Toss greens, apples, and cherries, in large bowl to combine. Toss with enough dressing to coat. (You may not need all of the dressing.) Sprinkle with walnuts.
Variation: Use about one cup of fresh pomegranate seeds in place of the cherries.
