Cheddar & Sweet Apple Salad

One of the things we look forward to each Fall is the bounty of sweet, freshly harvested apples. While we enjoy many different kinds of apples, we continuously find ourselves searching out the beloved Honeycrisp. This recipe pairs our sweetly nutty The Fawn with fresh, crisp apples. The other ingredients round out the salad to create the perfect balance of sweet and savory, creamy and crunchy.

What You’ll Need:

1. Shred approximately 4 ounces of The Fawn and set it aside.
