Sliced Apple mixed with beets and greens

This salad light and refreshing. The sweet and slightly sour taste of the apples and the salty taste goat cheese goes very well in this salad. 

Ingredients:

2 cups torn mixed greens
1 apple, cored and sliced
1/4 cup red and orange beets, cut lengthwise
2 radishes, sliced
2 Tbsp crumbled goat cheese

Mustard Vinaigrette

3 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp Champagne vinegar
1 tsp Dijon-style mustard
1/4 sugar
salt and pepper to taste

Method:

Combine all the mustard vinaigrette ingredients in a screw-top jar and shake well. Taste and set aside

In a medium salad bowl, place the mixed greens, sliced radishes, and the beets. Pour 3 or 4  tablespoons of vinaigrette and toss very gently to avoid bruising the tender green leaves.  Sprinkle some of the goat cheese.

Add a little of the vinaigrette to the apples and toss.  Arrange the apples in a fan-shape. Place the greens in the a plate. Sprinkle a little of the vinaigrette on the greens and apples before serving.
