Triple a Plus Salad (Arugula, Avocado, Apple, Plus More)

As submitted by Heather Cline for Epicurious.com’s Favorite Mother’s Day Recipe Contest.
My mom loves this salad. It’s hearty enough to eat as a lunch entrée, but I often serve it as a dinner side salad.... the lime vinaigrette and the avocado are a great accompaniment to Mexican and Latin American dishes.
If you desire a tart salad, use Granny Smith; for a sweeter salad, I like Pink Ladies.
Makes 6 servings.
Prep time: 10 minutes

  • Optional:

  • ½ sweet onion (Walla Walla or Vidalia), finely diced/minced

  • ½ cup candied walnuts (I like the Emerald Brand bag in “Original”)

  • ½ cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

  • Dressing:

  • dress with Newman’s Own “Lighten Up” dressing in Lime Vinaigrette or make your favorite red wine/olive oil/herb vinaigrette and add the juice of 2 limes. Add sugar or honey to taste to cut the acid.

  • Mix greens together.

  • Slice apples and avocado. Add to salad greens.

  • If desired, add the onion, candied walnuts, and cheese.

  • Dress salad with vinaigrette, ensuring that the dressing is incorporated evenly.
