Thoroughly rinse any fresh produce and pat dry. Quarter apple and remove core. Cut into 1/2" slices. Mix mayonnaise, half the blue cheese, half the vinegar, and 1 Tbsp. water in a mixing bowl until combined. Toss spring mix with apple, dried cranberries, and pecans. Drizzle with blue cheese-vinegar dressing. Garnish with remaining blue cheese, if desired. Bon appétit!
