APPLE PECAN SALAD



Apple Pecan Salad image

I remember being excited right before Thanksgiving and Christmas, because that's when my family made this salad. There were five children and only the oldest helped peel the apples. It was fun when one of our boyfriends would come for the holiday for the first time. My dad would give him a huge bowl of grapes, hand him a sharp paring knife and tell him to start peeling. We all kept a straight face until he had the first grape peeled. -Debra Slone, Crossville, Tennessee

Farro, Apple and Pecan Salad image

Cooked farro has a nutty flavor and slightly chewy texture, both of which are particularly delicious in salads like this one. Use your favorite variety of apple to make this late summer and early fall salad. Sliced pears are a perfect match, too. From Whole Foods. I've not tried this one yet.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady are all good choices.
  • Toast the pecans to enhance their flavor. You can do this in a toaster oven or on the stovetop.
  • Use fresh pomegranate seeds for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh seeds, you can use frozen or canned seeds.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time to allow the flavors to meld. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve the salad immediately after assembling it. The apples will start to brown if they sit for too long.

This apple, pomegranate, and pecan salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy the fall harvest. With its sweet, tart, and nutty flavors, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a light and refreshing salad, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
