½ cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, or the like)
½ sunflower seeds
½ cup chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, cashews, or peanuts)
1 apple chopped (again I utilized my food processor so everything was a similar size.
**I did not add meat to this dish but you could easily add bacon or chicken

3 TB Dijon mustard
3-4 TB honey
3-4 TB olive oil
2 TB apple cider vinegar (you can sub white wine or champagne)
¼ TS red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions
Combine all chopped ingredients in a large bowl.
Use a food processor to blend all ingredients for dressing or in a jar and shake to combine.
Pour over salad and stir to combine.
