With the Fall season approaching, I was inspired to create a salad that captured the essence of Autumn. The salad and dressing are both incredibly easy to make and so delicious! The ingredients compliment each other nicely and it truly tastes more like a dessert than a salad. I believe that food should be enjoyed, while still being somewhat healthy of course.
Essence of Autumn Salad Recipe:
There are no specific amounts listed for this salad recipe, because the beauty of making your own food is to add however much you like! Want your salad to mostly contain candied pecans? Go for it!
• green leaf lettuce and/or spinach
• diced pear or apple
• dried cranberries
• raw pumpkin seeds
• orange vinaigrette dressing
• candied pecans
(cook pecans at medium heat with coconut oil, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and a hint of vanilla, until carmelized.)
Orange Vinaigrette Dressing Recipe:
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoons honey or coconut sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Whisk or blend until mixed. Keeps in refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before using.
