I love a good salad in the summer when it’s hot. It’s super refreshing! But when the weather starts to get cold I find myself craving salads less and less. This one is the exception. It is sooo good! I found a similar recipe years back and just like the stuffing, have tweaked it to make it my own!
This recipe would be great with a Thanksgiving dinner, but it would also be so good just to have for lunch during the fall and winter months! I also think it would be so good to make it with kale too!
Salad Ingredients
Romaine lettuce
Spinach
Bell Pepper, diced
Red onion, thinly sliced
Dried cranberries
Apple, thinly sliced
Tempeh bacon
Candied pecans (you can buy these or make them)
Dressing
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp dijon mustard
Garlic (powder or fresh minced)
Combine all ingredients and whisk or shake to combine. I use a mason jar!
I use have romaine and half spinach, and this would also be really good with kale!
To make the candied pecans, melt a couple of tablespoons of butter in a non stick pan. add 1 cup of pecans and about 1/4 cup of sugar. Cook this for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Transfer them to a baking sheet to cool!
