My favorite fresh salad featuring healthy greens, sliced apple, toasted pepitas, dried cranberries and crumbled goat cheese. Toss with my simple apple cider vinaigrette (recipe below) or take a shortcut and use store-bought balsamic dressing instead. Buy organic greens and apple to avoid pesticides. Recipe yields 2 full-sized salads or 4 side salads.
