How To Make Apple Salad with Gorgonzola

This full-flavored apple salad with gorgonzola is the perfect combination of savory, sweet, and tangy, and it comes together in less than 10 minutes. The zippy mustard vinaigrette balances the sweet-tart Granny Smith apple, peppery arugula, and nutty pistachios. Serve it as a main entree or side salad.

Storage: If salad greens and vinaigrette are stored separately, they will keep (covered) in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Otherwise, the dressed salad will keep up to 48 hours.

Serve vinaigrette on the side. If you don't plan on eating your salad immediately, I recommend serving the vinaigrette on the side. This way, you can store the vinaigrette in the refrigerator separately, which avoids wilted greens.
