Mixed Mesclun Greens and Apple Salad


For the dressing
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon olive oil
Dash of salt
Dash of freshly ground black pepper

For the salad
¼ cup crumbled blue cheese 
2 cups chopped (unpeeled) Granny Smith apples
1 cup chopped (unpeeled) Braeburn apples
1 cup chopped (unpeeled) McIntosh apples
2 slices turkey bacon, cooked in a pan or on a panini grill and chopped
4 cups mixed salad greens (a packaged mesclun mix works well)

To prepare the dressing: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl; stir well with a whisk.
To prepare the salad: Combine cheese, apples, and bacon in a large bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the apple mixture; toss gently to coat. Divide the greens among four salad plates, and top each with about 1 cup of the apple mixture.
