Apple Salad with Cheddar Croutons
Spring greens tossed with apples, bacon, cheddar, dried cherries, and cheddar sourdough croutons.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp. butter
- 3 cups sourdough bread, cut in one inch cubes
- ¼ cup grated cheddar cheese
- 4 slices bacon, cut in one inch pieces
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp. honey
- ¼ tsp. cinnamon
- 4 cups spring greens
- 2 sliced apples
- ½ cup dried cherries

Instructions
- Make the croutons by melting the butter in a nonstick skillet. Add the bread, and cook until golden brown on all sides. Then add the cheddar and stir until the bread is coated in the melted cheese. Remove from the heat.
- Fry the bacon pieces on low heat until they're nice and crispy. Remove from the pan and let drain on a paper towel.
- Make the vinaigrette by mixing together the oil, vinegar, honey, and cinnamon in a small jar. Shake until combined.
- Toss the lettuce with as much dressing as you like, in a salad bowl. And then top with the rest of the ingredients and serve.
