Name: Fall Salad
Prep time: 20 min
Yield: 4
Ingredients: spring mix & arugula; 1 apple (thinly sliced); ¼ cup pecans; Maple syrup; ¼ tsp smoked paprika; ¼ cup craisins; 1 avocado; 1 carrot; ***Dressing; ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil; Salt and pepper to taste; 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar; 1 tsp thyme; 1 clove garlic (minced); ¼ tsp smoked paprika; Juice of ½ a lemon; 1 tsp Dijon mustard; 2 tbsp apple cider

I LOVE a good fall salad. What makes this one so special is the cider dressing with apple cider vinegar and cider to lightly sweeten it. When I think of a fall (or winter) salad I think craisins and pecans are a go to. Topping this with a little bit of gorgonzola is my personal favorite with the apple slices.
