Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Pecans

    In a skillet, toast the pecans over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes. Add sugar and stir continuously until the sugar melts and coats the pecans. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced green apples, cherry tomatoes, and caramelized pecans. Crumble the goat cheese on top.

  4. 4

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the maple vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
