Sometimes you just need a salad to balance out all the other Thanksgiving dishes. But you don’t want the salad to be too much of a bore, you know? After all, it is a holiday. Simple Apple Pecan Salad is the perfect option. It’s easy to make, packed with flavor, and tastes great leftover (…for that post-Thanksgiving meal when you only want to eat salad). It’s a crisp and vibrant salad that combines the earthiness of kale with the juicy sweetness of Honeycrisp apples. Add crunchy pecans, creamy hints of blue cheese, and sweet dried cranberries. All these flavors are brought together with a sweet and tangy salad dressing made with Dijon mustard and maple syrup. It’s an autumn salad perfect for a holiday or any other day of the year.
