Dried apple chips are readily available this time of year at most supermarkets. They add a nice, subtle sweet texture to the salad while carrying the apple flavor. There are quite a few flavors on the market as well - cinnamon, caramel, golden delicious, granny smith, to name a few!
The addition of fresh apples is great for a fall salad. as is the Fuji apple dressing (found in the refrigerated dressing section in your local produce department.)
I'm a big fan of incorporating fruits, nuts and cheese in a salad so it seemed like a great pairing to combine apples, pecans and Gorgonzola cheese. Blue cheese and walnuts also work well too as substitutes!
