Notes

Any fruit can be substituted for the apples. Use what's in season or whatever is your favorite.
Same goes for the cheese. Use your favorite.
Keep cheese refrigerated until ready to use to make it easier to crumble.
If you don't have flavored vinegars and oils on hand, use my Classic Balsamic Vinaigrette. It goes perfectly with this salad too.
Homemade Gluten Free Granola recipe. If you're not gluten free, use your favorite brand of granola.
Toasted nuts are a good substitution for the granola.
