Ingredients

1 cup pecan halves (toasted)

4 Gala apples

1 (6 ounce) package baby spinach

1 (5 ounce) package spring mix

3 ounces extra-sharp white cheddar cheese (shaved)

Salt & pepper to taste

⅔ cup canola oil

⅓ cup Apple cider vinegar

2 green onions, minced

3 tablespoons light brown sugar

3 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

½ teaspoon dried crushed red pepper

¼ teaspoon salt

Coat the grill with olive oil or cooking spray.
Preheat the grill to a medium-high heat. Cut the apples crosswise into ¼-inch thick rings. Grill apple rings, covered with grill lid, 2–3 minutes on each side or until crisp-tender. Arrange the spinach, mixed greens on a plate and top with apples, cheese and toasted pecans. Season with salt and pepper and serve with the vinaigrette (whisk all ingredients until blended).
