apple crunch salad


my current favorite salad. rediscovered my love for this on our Versteel trip last week with the Fat & Sassy Salad from Fat & Sassy's cafe. their salad was a delectable combination of tart granny smith apples, crumbled bleu cheese, candied pecans, grilled chicken and their house vinaigrette.

my version has chopped pecans, macintosh apples (they are my favorite), reduced fat crumbled bleu cheese and sweetened dried cranberries. i don't even think this salad NEEDS dressing, it's that good, but i used a little apple cider vinegar, olive oil and either sugar or brown sugar for some added sweetness.

yummy lunch meat-free version!
delicious! healthy! and lent-friendly if that's your thing! i've also made this sandwich style with chopped chicken, a little honey greek yogurt and light mayonnaise in a pita.
