This Winter Apple Salad features fresh apples and pomegranate arils, plus crunchy, sweet & salty candied pecans. And a bright lemon poppy seed dressing brings it altogether!

Ingredients

8 to 10 cups spring greens mix - or use baby spinach or torn butter lettuce
1 medium/large Honeycrisp apple cored and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
half of a medium red onion thinly sliced
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1 cup candied pecans
½ cup pomegranate arils
freshly cracked black pepper
lemon poppy seed dressing

Instructions

In a small bowl, toss the apple slices with the lemon juice until all slices are evenly coated. Drain away excess juice.
Place half of the fresh greens in a large salad bowl. Layer half of the apple, onion, Swish cheese, candied pecans, pomegranate arils, and some black pepper over the top. Then top with the remaining fresh greens, followed by the remaining apple, onion, cheese, pecans, and pomegranate - finish with some freshly cracked black pepper.
Serve with lemon poppy seed dressing on the side.

Notes

If desired, you can toss all the ingredients together in the bowl, rather than create 2 layers. You can also drizzle some dressing over the salad and toss to combine, if desired.
