Apple Maple Pecan Salad

Tired of the same old salad? This Apple Maple Pecan Salad is perfect for fall. With no lettuce to be found, it’s really more like a non-traditional coleslaw made from julienned apples and a package of finely shredded cabbage.

You can use whatever apples you like, but I really like the way the tartness of Granny Smith apples taste with the sweetness of the maple syrup-based dressing.

In addition to apples and shredded cabbage, this Apple Maple Pecan Salad also features gorgonzola cheese, chopped pecans, and a few dried cranberries,

It’s a wonderful combination of flavors. I especially love the way apples taste with any type of blue cheese. Add in some buttery pecans and I am in heaven!

In addition to having great flavors, this is a wonderfully crunchy salad as well. I love it paired with chicken or some type of pork.
