Honey Crisp Apple, Pomegranate, and Arugula Salad with an Apple Cider Vinaigrette

This was one of the salads I created for D Home magazine when they asked me to create salad recipes featuring arugula for their Fall 2023 issue. Not long after that, it was also featured as a special for the week at the UT Southwestern Medical Center cafeteria.

I love this salad so much because it is full of flavor and contains so many quintessential fall ingredients!

Ingredients:

For the salad:

4 cups tightly packed arugula

1 honey crisp apple, cored and thinly sliced

¼ cup apple cider vinegar

3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2. Place the arugula, apple slices, pomegranate seeds, chopped walnuts, and feta in a bowl and drizzle on the dressing as desired. Mix before serving with a protein of your choice.
