Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 cup Pecans
- 1 large Apple (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup Dried cranberries
- 1 cup Crumbled feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large salad bowl, add the mixed salad greens as a base.
Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Let them cool slightly and then add to the greens.
Core and thinly slice the apple into even pieces. Add the apple slices to the salad.
Sprinkle the dried cranberries and crumbled feta cheese over the salad mixture.
In a small mixing bowl or jar, whisk together the maple syrup, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
Drizzle the maple syrup dressing evenly over the salad just before serving.
Toss the salad gently to combine all ingredients and coat them with the dressing.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
