Ingredients

Apple Cranberry Bacon Salad
1 small head Romaine lettuce
8 oz. baby spinach
2 Fuji or honeycrisp apples, thinly sliced
1 cup dried cranberries
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup Feta cheese crumbles
3/4 cup caramelized walnuts (click HERE for recipe)*
Apple Poppy Seed Dressing
3-4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (depending on how "tangy" you want it)
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry minced onion
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

Add all of the dressing ingredients to a medium bowl and whisk to combine or shake in a mason jar. Refrigerate while you prepare the salad ingredients then whisk/shake again before drizzling over salad. The dressing can be made up to a week in advance. When ready to serve, toss all of the salad ingredients together in a large bowl. You can either drizzle with desired amount of dressing and toss to combine or if you expect leftovers, drizzle individual salad servings with dressing. NOTES All ingredients are a guideline. Add more or less of your favorite salad fixings! *The caramelized nuts recipe makes 1 cup nuts. I suggest making 1 cup caramelized walnuts and using the desired amount in the salad and eating/storing the rest :)
