This is the salad I usually make on New Year’s Day to go with my black eyed pea, turkey kielbasa and rice dish. I call this salad “Green Money a la Salad” as it works with the saying to eat green for money on New Year’s Day. The southern people I believe eat cooked collard greens, but since I am not fond of that I changed the tradition a little. I think the concept still fits, and I love it.

Green Money a la Salad
Created recipe on 01/01/2010
¾ bag of organic baby spinach washed and spun dry
2 organic Golden Delicious Apples (you can use any apple you like)
Juice of a ½ lemon
1 cup of lightly salted Cashews
½ cup of cran-raisins (you can use raisins if you like)
6 oz of cubed smoked Gouda cheese
Sweet Honey Mustard Dressing
The Salad:
Wash, core and chop apples into 1” bite size pieces and squeeze the juice of a ½ lemon over apples to prevent browning. Put baby spinach in a nice platter-like bowl. Sprinkle the chopped apples, cashews, cran-raisins and cheese on top of the baby spinach.
The Dressing:
3 tablespoons Fago Greek Yogurt (substitute with mayonnaise if prefer)
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons mustard
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Mix well, the flavor is really by individual taste, you can adjust the ingredients according to your taste and how much dressing you prefer over your salad. If you like a lot then you will need to add more ingredients. Enjoy!
