Apple Walnut Salad – Fresh, Crunchy, and Flavor-Packed

The Apple Walnut Salad is a fresh and healthy choice that’s perfect for lunch or a light dinner. It combines crisp apple slices, crunchy walnuts, and fresh greens for a mix of flavors and textures in every bite. Tangy dried cranberries, creamy blue cheese crumbles, and a light dressing bring everything together for a sweet, savory, and slightly tangy taste.

We use Romaine lettuce and peppery arugula for a crisp and vibrant base. Juicy apples add sweetness, while toasted walnuts bring a rich nutty crunch. The cranberries give a tangy pop, and the cheese adds creamy, bold flavor. You can choose between honey mustard or balsamic vinaigrette dressing to finish it off.
