ADDITIONAL DETAILS

Our apple pecan feta salad is a great way to get your greens in while enjoying the more comforting flavors of fall and winter. The crisp sweetness of the apples pairs well with the crunchiness of the pecans and the tang of the feta for a dish you’ll love to serve in the colder months and throughout the year.

The freshness of the apples and the crisp lettuce of this apple pecan feta salad will add an element of warmer days to any table, even if there are several feet of snow on the ground. Another benefit of this dish is that you can easily swap out ingredients. For example, if apples are unavailable, you can swap them for pears. Or, if you aren’t the biggest fan of feta, you can exchange it for blue cheese crumbles.

If you want to elevate this salad, add 12 ounces of bacon crumbles and ½ of a red onion to the lettuce base. To remove the harsh bite from the red onion, run it under warm water for 10 seconds and toss it once before draining and placing it over the lettuce.

Fresh U.S.A. grown pecans from Pecan Nation are the perfect option to enhance any dish. In addition to adding a buttery crunch, our pecans are full of antioxidants, making them a healthy and versatile option to complement any meal or snack. With multiple flavor varieties, including Roasted & Salted, we have something for everyone.
