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.
