Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 2 green apples, diced (leave the skin on for added color and fiber)
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional, for added texture and visual appeal)

For the Dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (about 1 small lemon)
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise (optional, for a creamier texture)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

  1. Wash and dice the green apples into bite-sized pieces. To prevent browning, toss the apple pieces with a splash of lemon juice as you work.
  2. Roughly chop the pecans if they’re not already pre-chopped. For extra flavor, toast them lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes until fragrant. Let them cool before using.

Step 2: Make the Dressing
