Tips & Variations

  • Lightly toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds extra crunch.
  • Make sure to wash and chop the mixed lettuce before adding to keep it fresh.
  • Try substituting dried cranberries with other dried fruits such as raisins or chopped apricots for different tastes.
  • Adjust the amount of honey in the dressing to suit your preferred level of sweetness.

Storage

Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Because the apple slices can brown and the lettuce can wilt, it’s best enjoyed fresh. If needed, refrigerate the dressing separately and toss just before serving.

How to Serve

A fresh salad served on a white plate, placed on a white marbled surface, features multiple layers starting with a base of bright green leafy lettuce with soft, curly edges. On top of the lettuce, there are thin, pale green apple slices spread evenly around. Scattered across the salad are medium brown pecan halves adding texture and depth, along with small, dark red dried cranberries providing pops of color. The whole salad is lightly drizzled with creamy white dressing that contrasts with the greens and nuts. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a different type of apple?

Yes, you can substitute green apple with other tart varieties like Granny Smith, but avoid sweeter apples to maintain the salad’s refreshing balance.
