A delightful and refreshing salad combining the sweetness of cranberries and apples with the crunch of pecans, topped with a tangy maple vinaigrette.
Combine the mixed greens in a large salad bowl.
Ensure the greens are washed and dried for the best texture.
Slice the Granny Smith apple thinly and add to the salad bowl.
Use a mandoline slicer for even slices.
Sprinkle the dried cranberries and toasted pecans over the greens and apples.
Toast the pecans in a dry skillet for enhanced flavor.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Add the dressing gradually to avoid overdressing.
Serve the salad immediately and enjoy.
Garnish with a few extra cranberries and pecans for presentation.
