This has been a quest for me since eating at the III Forks in North Dallas a few years. I tried to duplicate the dressing but failed miserably, many times. Ingredients:
3/4 cup pecans, lightly toasted, plus pecans to garnish |
1/2 cup apple cider |
1/4 cup cider vinegar |
1/2 cup pure maple syrup |
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard |
1/4 cup pecan oil |
1/4 cup olive oil |
8 cups greens, field greens or 8 cups spinach, washed &dried |
2 granny smith apples, cored, sliced into thin wedges |
1/2 cup danish blue cheese, crumbled |
Directions:
1. Combine 3/4 cups pecans and apple cider in blender and puree. Pour mixture into large bowl.
2. Whisk in cider vinegar, maple syrup and dry mustard.
3. Combine oils and add to mixture, whisking until well combined. Makes about 2 1/4 cups dressing.
4. Heat vinaigrette slowly over low heat in saucepan.
5. Arrange salad plates with greens, sliced apples and crumbled blue cheese. Ladle on warm vinaigrette and sprinkle with toasted pecans.
