Simple Fall Salad with Apples and Bacon
It’s finally fall. The days are shorter, the leaves are turning (or maybe not turning, if you live in Southern California like us), and comfort food recipes are everywhere. We love cozy fall recipes, but we don’t always want comforting flavors with all the bulk. This Simple Fall Salad with Apples and Bacon is inspired by classic autumn flavors and textures, but in a lighter form. It’s made with crisp apples, crunchy bacon, sweet and earthy pecans, soft leafy lettuce, and a tangy apple cider vinaigrette.

Instructions
- Step 1
Add the dressing ingredients to a jar or a container with a lid.
- Step 2
Shake the dressing until it’s fully emulsified (the oil and vinegar are combined and not separating).
- Step 3
Cook the bacon according to package directions. For regular pork bacon that is not thin cut, it’ll take about 8 to 12 minutes (turn bacon over occasionally). Set aside to cool slightly before chopping into small pieces.
- Step 4
Add the lettuce to a platter or salad bowl.
- Step 5
Top the lettuce with the apple slices.
- Step 6
Sprinkle on the chopped bacon and pecans.
- Step 7
Pour on the desired amount of dressing and gently toss the salad to combine.
