Apple Walnut Salad with Maple-Cider Shallot Vinaigrette
Flavor Logic
- Apple-cider vinaigrette balances the fresh, slightly tangy character of doucette and crisp acidity of apple
- Dark maple's fruit notes reinforce the apple and cider vinegar
- Cider vinegar keeps the dressing bright
- Gruyère or aged cheddar adds a savory, nutty richness that connects naturally with both the walnuts and maple.
