So usually I'm posting these babies on Tuesday morning, but since this was our salad from LAST week...maybe it will inspire your own "Salad Monday":) And if you start with this one, you just may convert to a 'day of salads' every week...because THIS one was SOOOOOOOOOO good!
In the Mix:
- Shredded spinach
- Chickpeas
- Blue Cheese
- Toasted Walnuts
- Craisins
- Diced Apples
- Maple Balsamic
Where do you get Maple Balsamic, you ask?? Well...from in your pantry! :) All I did was pour a little less than a quarter cup of balsamic in a small saucepan and allowed it to simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes (while I mixed up the salad). After the balsamic is slightly reduced, I added a couple tablespoons of maple and let it all heat together. After letting it cool for a moment, it was the perfect consistency to drizzle on the salad...
I don't know if it was the warm/sweet balsamic, the warm toasted walnuts, the tangy cheese or the chewy craisins or all of the above...but this salad was DELICIOUS!! SO WARM & FALL-Y! :) And the chickpeas added an extra BOOST of "Filling" :) Try this one, you'll LOVE IT!

Thank you everyone!! :)
Alessandra-the taste is a little tangy with a nice kick of sweet. BUT if you boil down the vinegar, it tastes ALL sweet and wonderful;) Hope that helps;)
