Walnut Apple Salad with a Homemade Poppy Seed Dressing

While my parents were visiting a few weeks ago, we stumbled into an olive oil and vinegar store in St. Charles called Di Olivas.  You can walk around and taste the various flavors.  Once you land on what you want to purchase, the bottle is poured in front of you and sealed off with a cork.  I decided to get the cranberry pear balsamic vinegar and my mom got the avocado olive oil.  This recipe was my first use of the purchase.  Based on the outcome, I will definitely be making a stop back for some other types in the near future.
