My favorite salad

Mixed Greens w/Goat Cheese, Cranberries and Walnuts - serves 8

3 bags mixed greens
1 cup sweetened dried cranberries
1 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
2/3 cup Lemon-Maple Vinaigrette
11 oz goat cheese, crumbled

Combine greens, cranberries & walnuts in a large bowl. Toss with 2/3 cup lemon-maple vinaigrette and top with goat cheese.

Lemon-Maple Vinaigrette - makes 1 1/2 cups

1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp maple syrup
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Combine all ingredients, stirring well with a whisk. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
