Apple Walnut Salad
December 20, 2022
Remember the days when “salad” meant a boring bowl of iceberg lettuce plus a few measly cucumbers and tomatoes? If you were lucky, maybe there'd be an olive or two, or (gasp!) a few shreds of cheese.
Lettuce set you straight. There’s no need for bland basics when it’s this easy to whip up a satisfying salad with crisp apples, walnuts (or your favorite nut), dried cranberries, goat cheese, and a handful of pantry staples like our tangy Primal Kitchen Balsamic Dressing and Marinade.
This fresh, festive Apple Walnut Salad is a year-round favorite and can be customized to your tastes or depending on what protein you have on hand. Toss in some chickpeas, or top with grilled chicken or salmon, for a heartier salad that can take center stage on your plate.

Ingredients
-
-
1-2 teaspoons Primal Kitchen Dijon Mustard
Fresh thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 large head Bibb lettuce (or 2 small heads)
1 large Fuji or Honeycrisp apple, sliced
½ red onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup walnuts
2 ounces crumbled goat cheese
2 Tablespoons dried cranberries
Directions
Whisk together the balsamic dressing and dijon mustard along with a pinch of thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Thinly slice the apple and red onion. Hand-tear the lettuce leaves into bite-sized pieces and wash and dry them well.
Arrange your salad in a bowl by combining all of the ingredients and gently folding them into the dressing. For extra flavor, dry roast your walnuts for a few minutes before adding them to the salad.
Top with a pinch of fresh thyme leaves and enjoy!
Recipe Note
Bibb lettuce is delicate and holds its integrity best when it’s hand torn before serving. If you can’t find Bibb lettuce, you can swap it out for green or red leaf lettuce, or arugula. You can use any apple you’d like and use pecans, almonds, or pumpkin seeds if you don’t like walnuts.
