Description
This apple harvest salad is a crisp, colorful mix of greens, apples, pomegranate seeds, and walnuts, all tossed in a bright honey lemon dressing. A perfect fall or holiday side dish.
Ingredients
3 crisp apples (Honeycrisp or Fuji), cored and thinly sliced
4 cups mixed salad greens (spinach, arugula, or baby kale)
1 cup pomegranate seeds
½ cup chopped walnuts (toasted optional)
¼ cup crumbled feta or goat cheese (optional)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
½ tsp Dijon mustard
Pinch of salt and black pepper
Instructions
Whisk together olive oil, honey, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
In a large salad bowl, combine apples, salad greens, pomegranate seeds, and walnuts.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently.
Top with feta or goat cheese, if using, and serve immediately.
Notes
For a nut-free version, use pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
To keep apples from browning, toss them in lemon juice before assembling.
Add quinoa or grilled chicken to make it a main dish.
