Description

My favorite fresh salad featuring healthy greens, sliced apple, toasted pepitas, dried cranberries and crumbled goat cheese. Toss with my simple apple cider vinaigrette (recipe below) or use balsamic dressing in a pinch. Recipe yields 2 full-sized salads or 4 to 6 side salads.

Ingredient:

  • Green salad
  • 5 ounces (about 5 cups) spring greens salad blend
  • 1 large or 2 small Granny Smith apple(s)
  • ⅓ cup dried cranberries
  • ¼ cup pepitas (green pumpkin seeds) or chopped raw pecans
  • 2 ounces chilled goat cheese, crumbled (about ⅓ cup)
  • Apple cider vinaigrette
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 ½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
