INSTRUCTIONS:
To make the vinaigrette: Combine the oil, vinegar, agave, mustard, salt and pepper in a small jar. Seal the lid tightly and shake vigorously to emulsify. Set aside at room temperature.
To make the salad: Combine the romaine, cabbage and carrots in a large bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette. Add ½ cup of the vinaigrette (or more as desired) to the vegetables, and toss to combine. Divide the salad among 6 plates or bowls.
Toss the apples with the 2 tablespoons reserved vinaigrette and divide it among the individual salads. Top each salad with equal amounts of almonds, cranberries and spearmint (if using). Serve immediately.
