½ cup Avocado oil
½ cup apple cider
Juice of 1 lemon
3 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste

Salad

1 medium apple like honeycrisp cored and sliced thin
juice of 1/2 lemon
2 Tbsp water
⅛ tsp salt
6 oz baby spinach
6 oz arugula
1 cup candied pecans
¾ cup pomegranate arils
½ cup crumbled feta

Instructions

Salad Dressing

Start by making the dressing in a mason jar by adding the avocado oil, apple cider, lemon juice, honey, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Then shake the mason jar until all the ingredients are combined.
1/2 cup Avocado oil, 1/2 cup apple cider, Juice of 1 lemon, 3 Tbsp honey, 2 Tbsp dijon mustard, Salt and pepper to taste

Salad

Prepare the apples by adding the apple slices, lemon juice, water, and salt to a bag. Shake up the bag until the apples are fully coated in the juice. If you plan to serve this salad right away then skip this step.
1 medium apple like honeycrisp, juice of 1/2 lemon, 2 Tbsp water, 1/8 tsp salt
In a large serving bowl or salad bowl add spinach, arugula, apple slices (drained), candied pecans, pomegranate arils, and crumbled feta.
1 medium apple like honeycrisp, 6 oz baby spinach, 6 oz arugula, 1 cup candied pecans, 3/4 cup pomegranate arils, 1/2 cup crumbled feta
After all of the ingredients are added to the serving bowl and you’re ready to serve the salad, pour the dressing over the salad. Pour just a little dressing at a time then mix the salad all together. Add more dressing if needed. Serve!

Notes

Keep the salad fresh longer by adding a dry paper towel to the bottom of your storage container to soak up moisture.

To enhance the salad try adding in dried cranberries or pumpkin seeds.

Store salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days without any dressing on it. If it is dressed you will want to eat it as soon as possible so it doesn’t wilt. This is another reason you may want to just let people dress it themselves!

Store extra dressing in the fridge for up to five days, shake to mix ingredients before serving.
