This is probably our favorite fall salad. Nice flavor and texture with Washington apples and pecans. From Bon Appetit. Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil |
1/3 cup cider vinegar |
3 tablespoons frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed |
2 tablespoons red onions, minced |
1 3/4 teaspoons salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 cup red onion, thinly sliced |
2 gala apples, peeled, cored, 1/4-inch dice |
5 romaine lettuce hearts, halved lengthwise |
3/4 cup pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped |
Directions:
1. Whisk first 8 ingredients in small bowl for dressing. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Refrigerate. Rewhisk before using.).
2. Place sliced onion in medium bowl. Cover with cold water; let stand 30 minutes. Drain well. Place 1/3 cup dressing in another medium bowl. Add apples; toss to coat.
