Mixed Greens w/ Apples & Smoked Gouda
I know I've been posting a lot of simple salads over the past few months - but I can't help it! I love lunchin' on salads!
One of my favorite additions to salads are julienned apples - Granny Smiths to be exact. Raise your hand if you agree! They just give a welcomed and refreshing sour bite in the midst of some semi-bitter greens.
Happy mid-week to ya guys and just remember - 2 more days and it's a 3 day weekend (for those of us in the US that is!).
Ingredients:
Mixed greens
1/2 cup Smoked gouda, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
Granny Smith apple, peeled and julienned
1/4 cup deli turkey, chopped
In a large bowl combine greens, gouda, apple, and turkey. Serve plain or dressed with your favorite dressing!
Simple right? Right.
I promise I'll start posting "harder" recipes soon! Stay tuned tomorrow for my review of our Danville, KY tasting and a meet-up with other KY Food Bloggers! Have a great rest of your Wednesday guys!
