Instructions
- If not already prepared, wash & chop (if need be) greens. Make sure they are pretty well dry when making the salad.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients.
- Dice apple. While dicing apple, put already cut apples directly into the dressing. This prevents oxidization.
- In a large bowl, layer in greens, carrots, feta, dried cranberries, and pomegranate arils. Using a slotted spoon, scoop apples out of dressing and into salad.
- Spoon desired amount of dressing onto salad and top with pecans and pumpkin seeds. Store leftover dressing in air tight container in refrigerator. Enjoy!
