This Apple Harvest Salad combines all of the best autumn flavors. The base is a spring mix, tossed with an apple cider vinaigrette dressing, then piled high with roasted butternut squash, Honeycrisp apples, feta, pumpkin seeds, and feta. A crisp, juicy apple makes all the difference in a salad like this! That sweet bite combined with leafy greens is so refreshing. Make it with me!
Fall Apple Harvest Salad
This salad mixes leafy greens, Honeycrisp apples (my favorite), roasted butternut squash, feta cheese, pumpkin seeds, and dried sweet cranberries.
The homemade apple cider vinaigrette ties everything together in a beautiful way.
It comes together just a few minutes after the roasted squash, and its presentation is stunning on your table. I love serving salads like this on a large, flat platter. That way, it’s visually appealing, and you get lots of toppings in every bite.
Here’s What You’ll Need To Make This Autumn Salad
- 4 cups spring mix
- 1 butternut squash, cubed and roasted* I like serving this warm, right out of the oven in the salad. You could also substitute roasted sweet potatoes instead.
- 2 Honeycrisp apples, sliced thin
- 1/2 cup feta
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
For the Apple Cider Vinaigrette
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
A company-worthy Apple Harvest Salad Dish
Not only is this so pretty on a dinner table, but it’s totally delicious, too. It’s sweet, tangy, and crunchy, with so many autumn flavors. I love that this salad is so versatile.
To make it a main course, you could add your favorite protein, like chicken or salmon.
The addition of candied pecans and crispy bacon or prosciutto would be excellent, but feel free to make this dish your own.
