Simple Fall Green Salad with Apples & Pecans image

A refreshing (and refreshingly simple!) side salad with crisp apples, toasted pecans, crunchy celery, and a light dressing made with cider vinegar and pure maple syrup.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 batch Cider Maple Vinaigrette (recipe below)
1/2 cup pecans (chopped)
1 medium honeycrisp or cameo apple (cut into thin matchsticks)
Juice of half a lemon (about 2 teaspoons (optional)*)
1 small head green leaf lettuce (or your favorite mild greens, torn into bite-size pieces (about 6 cups))
1 stalk celery (sliced (about 1/2 cup))
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients for the Cider-Maple Vinaigrette to the bottom of your salad bowl. Whisk until blended. Set aside.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread pecans on a rimmed cookie sheet. Place in preheated oven and cook, stirring once or twice, until fragrant and slightly browned, about 4 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
  • If desired, in a small bowl, toss the apple matchsticks with the lemon juice. This will help prevent them from browning - see note below.
  • Add lettuce, apples, and celery to the salad bowl. Toss until all of the greens are lightly coated with the dressing.
  • Top with toasted pecans and serve.
