Apple Cinnamon Garden Salad

Apple Cinnamon Garden Salad

Denise ChiribogaNutrition, Recipes

I made this salad off the cuff one day when I needed something quick to bring to a family dinner. It was quick because all the ingredients are simple pantry staples.

Feel free to change it up a bit, as I’ve also made it with only romaine lettuce and no spinach, and I left out the pecans for those with allergies, and it was still a hit! (not as beautiful looking, but it still got rave reviews!)

It’s sweet, tart and tangy. And these days one salad I keep eating over and over again!

Apple Cinnamon Garden Salad

Ingredients

  • Salad
  • 3 handfuls baby spinach
  • 1 romaine heart chopped
  • 2 celery ribs chopped
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup raw pecans
  • 1 granny smith apple sliced into 1/4 inch thick slices
  • juice of 1/2-1 lemon
  • Dressing
  • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Slice apples and add them to a bowl with the juice of the lemon (this prevents the apple from browning if you are making the salad in advance)
  2. Let apples soak for 5 minutes, and drain lemon juice (you can use any remaining lemon juice for the dressing)
  3. Add spinach and romaine to a large bowl
  4. Top with chopped celery, raisins, and apples
  5. Place all dressing ingredient in a bowl and stir to combine.
  6. Dress salad with dressing just before serving.
