Clean and chop Romaine, place in a large bowl, and set aside.
In a blender, combine applesauce, vinegar, Dijon, and cashews. Pulse until smooth.
Taste for seasoning. Add more vinegar if you want it more tart, and season with salt and pepper.
Toss Romaine with dressing first. Then sprinkle half the other ingredients and lightly toss. Before serving, garnish with remaining ingredients – serve and enjoy!
