Celebrate the flavors of fall with our Autumn Apple Salad II, a culinary masterpiece that captures the essence of the season. Begin with a medley of crisp apples, thinly sliced to showcase their natural sweetness and crunch.
Introduce a symphony of autumnal textures by adding pomegranate seeds. These ruby jewels not only add a burst of tartness but also create a visually stunning contrast against the backdrop of the apples.
Include a handful of candied pecans or walnuts for a delightful crunch and a touch of sweetness. The candied nuts bring a warm, toasty flavor that complements the cool, crisp apples and the burst of pomegranate.
For a creamy element, crumble blue cheese or goat cheese over the salad. The richness of the cheese adds depth and complexity, balancing the sweetness of the apples and the tartness of the pomegranate.
Incorporate fresh arugula or mixed greens to provide a peppery bite and a vibrant burst of color. The greens not only enhance the visual appeal but also contribute to the overall freshness of the salad.
Craft a dressing using apple cider vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, Dijon mustard, and a hint of maple syrup. This dressing ties all the elements together, offering a perfect blend of tanginess, sweetness, and richness.
Gently toss the ingredients, ensuring an even coating of the dressing. The result is a captivating Autumn Apple Salad II that embodies the spirit of the season. Serve it as a refreshing side dish for autumn gatherings or enjoy it as a light and wholesome meal.
Immerse yourself in the delightful combination of crisp apples, juicy pomegranate seeds, candied nuts, creamy cheese, and fresh greens. This salad is a testament to the richness and variety that fall brings to our tables, promising a burst of autumn flavors in every bite.

Instructions: Autumn Apple Salad II Recipes
Step 1: In a medium bowl, stir together the apples, almonds, cranberries, cherries and yogurt until evenly coated.
Made it for Thanksgiving. I didn't feel that it held up well.
Our apples were huge so we only needed three. Two Grannie Smith and one Pink Lady and I liked the Pink Lady better. Otherwise very easy and good. Served as a Thanksgiving side dish.
I don't like yogurt but this was good! I used triple zero vanilla yogurt. I didn't have cherries so I just used double the cranberries. toasting the almonds made it really good. the toasted almond flavor combined with the vanilla was really good. I'll be making this again. I'd like to try it with the cherries so I can taste the recipe as written. it's not really fair to review it without following the recipe. but I really liked this!!
I made this recipe exactly as written. It is easy, tasty, and refreshing, especially when served along with a heavy meal. Next time I'll try adding some lemon juice as another reviewer had suggested.
Perfect as is, but I used walnut halves instead of almonds.
Simple prep. I revised just because of what I had on hand. Used two colors apples from orchard. Used raisins instead of dried cherries. Plumped raisins and cranberries. That was great. I should have used tarter apples or added a bit lemon juice. But many at the church potluck loved it as is. I will def make again and again.
Did not add almonds due to nut allergies everyone enjoyed it
Absolutely loved this and will make it again! I did alter to what I had on hand: chopped walnuts instead of almonds, plain Greek yogurt used with pure vanilla and Splenda to sweeten, no cherries, used 1 Granny Smith and 3 Fuji apples and a little cool whip. I made this for an Autumn picnic and everyone loved it!
I used almond milk yogurt instead for a vegan twist but absolutely loved the recipe.
