This salad is a wonderful way to take advantage of local Ontario apples. Pair them with shallots, maple syrup, and marjoram atop a bed of bitter greens to counter the sweetness of the apples. The walnuts add a richness to the smoked trout and salad as a whole to make this apple and smoked trout salad a delight for the palate.
