There is a part of me that feels like I should title this “Halloween Detox Salad”. I may have overindulged in the Halloween treats over this past week just a bit and today my body is craving healthy clean foods. For lunch today I’m having this salad filled with plenty of autumn fruits and flavors. If you’ve been watching my posts for a while you know I tend not to be too specific when it comes to measurements for cold salads with a green base, but I do like to provide a general guide. Feel free to adapt & add or change on your own based on whatever you have on hand and your personal tastes.
Yield: 4 servings
You will need:
6 oz. field greens for the base
1 Empire apple chopped
1 Bartlett pear chopped
4 oz. crumbled goat cheese
1/3 cup plain walnuts
1/3 cup red grapes halved
1/3 cup blackberries
1/3 cup pomegranate seeds
6 small dried figs
Directions:
Wash and rinse the greens & fruit. Layer the bowl or platter with the spring mix/field greens and then top with the cheese, walnuts, apples, pear, grapes, blackberries, figs and pomegranate seeds. Serve with the dressing of your choice. I recommend a light balsamic, lemon or raspberry vinaigrette, or poppy seed dressing.
Enjoy!
