 Salad and Vinaigrette Ingredients

I’ve included a list of ingredients you will need for this Thanksgiving Salad with Maple Vinaigrette Recipe.  Be sure to check out the printable recipe card below for the exact recipe.  I can find all these ingredients at Aldi.I love shopping there this time of year because I’ve found some really cute seasonal plants like Christmas Cactus for cheap.

• baby spinach
• dried cranberries
• pecans
• Gorgonzola cheese
• Granny Smith Apples
• Fuji Apples
• Bacon

MAPLE DIJON VINAIGRETTE

• extra virgin olive oil
• apple cider vinegar
• maple syrup (real)
• dijon mustard
• salt & pepper to taste

When preparing this Thanksgiving Salad with Maple Vinaigrette Recipe  I’ve always made it first thing in the morning omitting the bacon until just before serving.  The dressing and green refrigerate well for up to 6 hours.  I wouldn’t leave it overnight because it will get soggy.

Inspired by Martha Stewart!
