As you probably have already noticed I love salads. They are fresh, healthy, full of vitamins and easy to make. The recipe I bring here today is very, very easy to prepare and it’s delicious.

Greens and Apple Salad

Original kaboose.com recipe, developed by Wendy Kalen

Ingredients

• 6 ounces pecans, coarsely chopped
• 1½ pounds mixed greens
• 3 Gala apples, coarsely chopped
• 1 red onion, coarsely chopped

Cooking Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Toast pecans on baking sheet 5 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly toasted.
2. In large serving bowl combine greens, pecans, apples and red onion. Toss to combine.

Substitution(s)

• Almonds, walnuts or your favorite nut can be substituted for the pecans
• Any apple may be used in place of Galas. Galas have a tendency not to brown like other apples. If you use a different apple, you may want to toss them in a little acid such as lemon or orange juice to keep them from browning
• White, yellow, or sweet onion may be used in place of the red onion

This is a green salad that can be served as an entrance, side dish or even a main dish. With such a fresh, low fat salad, who need nuphedra to lose weight?
