Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped green apples, dried cranberries, and chopped pecans.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the poppy seeds, lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup), and, if desired, Greek yogurt or mayonnaise.
  3. Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to combine.
  4. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Tips:

  • For added color and flavor, try adding fresh pomegranate seeds or orange slices.
  • To boost the protein content, consider adding grilled chicken or feta cheese.

This vibrant salad makes for an ideal light lunch or dinner!
