This Apple Spinach Salad recipe is one of my all-time favorites. It’s made with a delicious mix of sweet and savory ingredients, it’s tossed with a tangy champagne vinaigrette, and it’s always a crowd favorite! Feel free to sub in whatever greens, nuts, or soft cheese that you have on hand.

To Make The Champagne Vinaigrette:

This salad is absolutely delicious! I added sautéed shrimp.

This is my first time leaving a review on a recipe blog- I absolutely had to because this salad is bomb!! A really great combo of flavors and simple ingredients. I’ll definitely be making this salad a lot more, thank you!

This salad is delicious. I used apple cider vinegar because I was out of champagne vinegar. It was a tad bit tangy, so I will make sure I have the champagne vinegar next time. Used goat cheese,  the blue cheese and feta would be just as delicious.  I will make this many times. Served with grilled chicken thighs.  Thank you for sharing this recipe!

Was great! Only didn’t have Dijon mustard so substituted wasabi and dint have feta so I used Asiago. This was amazing! Can’t wait to do again w feta and Dijon

very good but I like it better with bacon fat instead of olive oil.

I just made this salad for the first time for a brunch! Wow wow wow! We loved it and now it’ll be on our regular rotation. We’re imagining it with a poached egg and lardons! Thank you!

Making it in single-serve jars for a social distanced dinner. Can't wait to see how pretty the layers look in the jars!

Oh my, this was absolutely delicious!!!  My farm box delivery had fresh spinach and purple onion so this recipe was a perfect way to showcase them.  I included the honey, used apple cider vinegar, feta cheese and Pink Lady apples (semi-sweet and crunchy).   Since I used blood orange flavored olive oil, I omitted the lemon juice.  It really hit the mark taste-wise, a perfect meal at the end of a hot So. California summer day!  I can’t wait to make it again.

Awesome!!! I live in pecan country to that’s what I use. Not everyone like “stinky” cheese (but I do!) so I serve it on the side.

This salad was delicious and easy to put together!  The toasted walnuts melted the goat cheese and wilted the baby spinach a bit, which helped bring all of the flavors together!  The vinaigrette was tasty and complemented the flavors well, but I think I will go a little easier on the Dijon mustard the next time.  I will be making this again and love the suggestions and comments others have made.  Thank you!

Love it,so delicious .I am saving this, and probably doing few times a week.

Make this salad!!!! It’s sooo yummy! And good for you!!!

Just the correct amount of everything!  Super delicious and easy.

This is a wonderful recipe and so quick to make.  The dressing is delicious!

The combination of the ingredients go so well together. I used most of the ingredients but instead of champagne vinaigrette I used a dab of chunky blue cheese dressing. It was delicious

Great Salad. My picky family loved it!😁

That was a delicious salad that my whole family enjoyed! I added quinoa and called it a meal👌💓

This is a great recipe. I make it frequently and am always asked for the recipe. So yummy.

Best recipe ever make it at least once a week

Love this spinach apple salad... and your balsamic vinaigrette :) thanks for feeding us so well! L

excellent salad and excellent dressing, loved it!

This is an excellent salad.  After I made the dressing I thought I would only try a small sample for I had planned to use only half of the spinach and then use the dressing later on something else.  This salad is so good made exactly to recipe it became our dinner for the night.

Delicious salad! We did pecans and I did an ambrosia apple with a Granny Smith. So so good!

Love, love this salad😍 Absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing

Very good recipe.  Made it for a group of friends at a bbq. It was very easy to put it together on site and everyone gobbled it up.  It's a keeper.

My husband and I really love this salad! I wanted to make note of a mistake in the recipe ingredients list. It says to make a batch of apple cider vinaigrette. The recipe below is actually champagne vinaigrette. Other than that, it's wonderful recipe!
