Autumn Harvest Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette

This salad is perfect for early autumn, when tender fall greens, crisp green apples, and fresh figs are in season. Make a double batch of the dressing to keep on hand for quick mixed-green salads throughout the week. If fresh figs aren’t available, dried figs make an easy and delicious substitute.

Ingredients

Salad

8 cups mixed baby greens
2 cups finely sliced red cabbage
1 granny smith apples cored and diced
4 fresh figs cut into wedges
½ cups Zante currants
3 green onions sliced
½ cups raw walnuts lightly roasted
½ cups pumpkin seeds toasted

Dressing

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
¼ teaspoons sea salt
