Absolutely amazing! We've done a version of this salad but used toasted almonds and didn't include the apples. This really raised the bar and we will enjoy it often. Thanks for sharing. Made for FYC tag game.

Daily Inspiration

Absolutely delicious salad - I'd give it more stars if I could. It has everything we love and the dressing is sooo wonderful. I used pecans vs. walnuts and my cranberry concentrate was really really tart and with the addition of the vinegar,I felt it needed a tad bit of sweetener so I added a few tbsp. of agave nectar to offset the tartness. The dressing was still nice and tart so the agave didn't sweeten it up much -- just enough. Will be making this salad again - definitely company worthy. Placing this salad in my "Best Of" file for 2016.
