Equipment

Ingredients

For the salad:

  • 1 apple thinly sliced (you can use any variety, but a crisp, sweet one works best)
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup pomegranate seeds
  • ¼ cup walnuts chopped
  • 4 cups mixed greens spinach, arugula, or your favorite mix

Optional Add-Ons

  • Dried cranberries, goat cheese (for a dairy version), and candied nuts.

For the dressing:

  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 Tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 Tablespoons honey or date honey

Instructions

Prep the salad:

  • Toss the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning. Combine mixed greens, apple slices, and pomegranate seeds in a large bowl.

Toast the walnuts:

  • Toast walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden and fragrant. Cool before adding to the salad.

Make the dressing:

  • Whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and honey.

Just before serving:

  • Add the toasted walnuts and drizzle the dressing over the salad. Toss gently to coat everything.
