Looking for the must-try salad that tastes like crisp
autumn sunshine in every bite?
Ingredients
For the Salad
6 cups fresh baby spinach
1 crisp red apple, thinly sliced
1 crisp green apple, thinly sliced
½ cup dried cranberries
¾ cup pecan halves
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
3 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
For the Maple Dijon Dressing
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1½ tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Fresh apples, buttery toasted pecans and creamy feta
create a colorful bowl filled with sweet, tangy and
irresistible crunch.
Toast the pecans. 🌰 Place the pecans in a dry skillet
over medium-low heat. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring
often, until warm and fragrant. Let them cool.
Whisk the dressing. 🍁 Combine the olive oil, apple cider
vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt
and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk until glossy and
blended.
Build the salad. 🥬 Add the baby spinach to a large
serving bowl. Arrange the red and green apple slices over
the leaves.
Add the toppings. ❤️ Scatter the dried cranberries,
toasted pecans, feta and pumpkin seeds evenly across
the salad.
Dress and serve. 🥗 Drizzle the maple Dijon dressing over
the top just before serving. Toss gently so the spinach
stays fresh and the apples remain beautifully layered.
Quick Variation
For an extra nostalgic bite, add a thinly sliced ripe pear
alongside the apples.
