I found this salad while perusing Google one day. My salads were in a serious need of an overhaul. My usual dish consisted of green leaves of some sort, cucumbers, tomatoes and whatever other veggies I had on hand. I than proceeded with balsamic vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil. Nothing wrong with that, right? No! Not at all, however, I was bored!! I experimented with homemade dressings and various seeds/nuts but just couldn't get it right. Than I stumbled upon this little delight...Apple Pecan Salad and I was in heaven!! I ate this every day, sometimes twice for over a week. It just satisfied every craving with every bite I took. I added a protein if I was eating it as part of my meal and I was happy. It is so simple and requires very little ingredients.The Salad
1-2 cups of green leaves (I prefer Kale)
1 medium apple sliced and diced (I like the sweetness of Gala)
1-2 tablespoons chopped pecans
1-2 tablespoons crumbled feta
The Dressing
1 tablespoon honey (I've also used Agave Nectar)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
pinch of salt and pepper to taste
I use the portion control containers from the 21 Day Fix and count it as 1-2 Green, 1 Purple, 1 Blue, 1 Orange
You could also add chicken to make it a well rounded meal!
