Apple Cheese & Chive Salad

The perfect combo of sweet, salty and crunchy. This salad makes a great side dish to enjoy outdoors during those last days of summer or early fall.

Ingredients

4 apples (I went with honeycrisp)
3oz manchego cheese
1/4 c finely minced chives & herbs (I used cilantro, but get creative and use what you have!)
1/4 c olive oil
juice of 1 lemon
2 tbsp honey
2 tsp dijon mustard
salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix together the lemon juice, honey, dijon mustard, salt, pepper and olive oil.
Slice cheese into 1/8″ slices, and then again length and width-wise, so you have mini cheese cubes. For efficiency, I did for multiple slices at once.
Chop your herbs.
Save the apples for last as they will begin to oxidize and turn brown quickly. Using a mandolin slicer, I sliced my apples on the thickest setting and then used my knife to chop them length-wise into matchstick sized pieces.
Toss the dressing with the apples & cheese. Add the herbs to the top last and gently continue tossing to combine.
