Fall Salad with Apples, Pears and Walnuts

Jesus interrupts picking Navarro grapes to gather apples for a harvest lunch.
  • 1 cup Verjus
  • 1/2 cup walnut oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 garlic clove, split
  • 1 crisp apple
  • 1 crisp pear
  • 1/2 pound mixed greens
  • 1/2 cup toasted walnuts

Whisk the Verjus, oil and spices together.

Slice the apple and pear in 1/4 inch wedges and toss with dressing to coat (you will have some leftover.)
