Ingredients
  

Salad

  • 4 cups salad mix or just spinach
  • 2 apples stems removed
  • 1/2 red onion peeled
  • 1 cup pecans chopped
  • 1 cup dried cranberries

Dressing

Instructions
 

  • Prepare your apples and onion for the salad by spiralizing them with the blade of your choice. I used Blade C. (If you don't have a spiralizer, read the notes at the bottom)
  • In a large bowl, add your salad mix, apples, onion, pecans, cranberries and toss well
  • In a separate bowl, add your extra virgin olive oil, maple syrup, dijon mustard, salt & pepper and whisk until emulsified (around 20 seconds of whisking)
  • Use this delicious dressing and pour onto your salad, toss the salad to coat everything and serve
  • Garnish with a few extra pecans

Notes

A Spiralizer is not necessary for this recipe, but I HIGHLY recommend it for this recipe and life in general. There is only ONE reputable and trustworthy brand and that is Inspiralized. If you don't own one (sad face), buy one today and use a julienne peeler to make this recipe now.
