In a small bowl, whisk the first seven ingredients. In a large bowl, combine salad greens, apples, onion and walnuts. Drizzle with vinaigrette; toss to coat.

I think this would be a good salad for any holiday gathering. I made it for Thanksgiving last year. It was a hit. All the ingredients taste great together. I liked the crunch from the apples and walnuts. The vinaigrette flavor is a nice change from bottled dressings. I only had yellow mustard and white onions so I used them instead of spicy brown mustard and red onions.

Great refreshing salad.  I fried up the walnuts in a bit of butter and maple syrup and then let them cool.  Since I made this in advance of serving, I soaked the chopped apple in lemon juice and water (and then rinsed).  I loved the dressing as well and can see make this again and again (made exactly per the recipe).  Thank You.

Very good!!  I used olive oil and dijon mustard instead.  I also didn't use nuts because I didn't have any, but it was still really good.  I took it to a cook out and had many people ask for the recipe:)

Super good Apple salad. Love the mixture and everything is perfect. So refreshing!!

So good and loved the dressing.  This is a keeper for me.

Just the right amount of sweet and tangy. The whole family loves it!  Made to the exact specs of recipe. Thank you.

This salad is awesome. It will be made often around here.

I wasn't sure how I would feel about the maple flavor, but it was fantastic! A new favorite salad for sure!

This is very good. We like to add craisins to this salad.

Wonderful combination of sweet, savory, and crunchy. The vinaigrette was surprisingly simple and so delicious. I maple-glazed my walnuts, which added sweetness and texture to the salad. Will be making this again!

This is delicious!  I bought the pre-washed spring mix.  I chopped the apple and shook in lemon juice and water so it was ready.  I used apple cider instead of the apple juice concentrate.  Tossed it all together 5 minutes before we sat down, super easy and as l said delicious.  I will make this again and again.  Janet VFE

Lovely mix of flavors.  I have made this several times in the past two weeks and its fresh and clean taste goes well with many meals.   I followed the recipe exactly and wouldn't change a thing.

Very good vinaigrette with the surprise taste of maple.  I used only 1 tablespoon spicey brown mustard to soften the flavor and to emphasize the maple flavor.

What a delicious fall salad!  The dressing is so unique and flavorful.  This recipe will be perfect for Thanksgiving.
