From Bon Appetit 1995. My sister discovered this, and our entire family has loved it ever since. Try throwing in some crumbled bleu cheese or gorgonzola - tremendous!

- Dressing can be made one day ahead of time and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature and whisk before using.
- Combine greens and apples in a large bowl. Toss with enough dressing to coat and sprinkle with walnuts.
- Serve, passing remaining dressing separately.
- Note1: I like Granny Smiths or Jonagold apples in this, although the original recipe calls for red delicious. I sometimes dice the apples, rather than slicing.
- Note2: This is an older recipe, and I use much less oil in it these days - maybe 2/3 cup? I just pour it in and taste until it tastes right. I use about 2/3 grapeseed or other neutral oil and 1/3 olive oil.
