How to Make Autumn Main Dish Salad
- Wash and thoroughly dry all salad greens. Tear or chop into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, apple slices, pecans, and dried cranberries.
- In a separate skillet, cook bacon until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
- Crumble the cooked bacon (or add sliced smoked turkey).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the reserved bacon grease (or olive oil), apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Pour dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
- Top with the crumbled bacon (or smoked turkey) and serve immediately or chill for later.
- Serve with crusty bread, biscuits, or cornbread for a complete meal. For a portable lunch, load the salad into wraps or tortillas.
