Ingredients

Dressing

  • 3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 - 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp fine-grain sea salt
  • 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp unsweetened applesauce (I used homemade)
  • 1/8 tsp ground ginger

Salad

  • spring mix
  • apples, sliced or diced
  • toasted pecans
  • dried cranberries
  • dressing from above

Instructions

  • First make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients until well combined. Taste to see if you would prefer it to be a little sweeter or more sour. Add more maple syrup for sweeter or lemon for more sour.
  • Assemble the salad. Add your desired amount of spring mix, apples, pecans, and dried cranberries. Drizzle the dressing on top. Mix and enjoy!
