Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Michigan Cherry Salad with Maple Vinaigrette.
Step 1
To create a deliciously creamy dressing, start by adding mayonnaise, maple syrup, white wine vinegar, and sugar to your blender.
Step 2
Blend on low speed until everything is well combined.
Step 3
As you blend, slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil, watching as the mixture transforms into a beautifully emulsified dressing.
Step 4
Give it a taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking, then set it aside to let the flavors meld.
Step 5
Next, grab a large serving bowl and toss in some torn butter lettuce, dried cherries, matchstick-cut Granny Smith apples, crumbled goat cheese, and chopped candied pecans.
Step 6
This combination not only looks vibrant but also offers a delightful mix of textures and flavors.
Step 7
Drizzle just enough of your homemade dressing over the salad to lightly coat all the ingredients, then gently toss everything together to ensure each bite is bursting with flavor.
Step 8
Serve your salad right away, and don’t forget to keep any extra dressing on the side for those who might want a little more.
Step 9
Enjoy this refreshing dish that’s perfect for any occasion!.
