I’ve recently become obsessed with this Harvest Apple Salad. It’s light and fresh and perfect paired with a cup of soup or a half sandwich for a filling lunch. It’s also a great starter or side salad for dinner. You can basically eat it any time, and all the time and if you’re like me, you’ll want to once you try it! It’s full of beautiful flavors that complement one another perfectly: fresh leafy greens, crisp, tart Granny Smith apples, rich, creamy goat cheese, earthy walnuts and a light apple vinaigrette that’s mildly tart and sweet. Now that apple season is upon us, this is a great and healthy way to get your fix for just 136 calories or 5 Weight Watchers SmartPoints per serving on the myWW Green, Blue and Purple plans.

Fresh leafy greens, crisp, tart Granny Smith apples, rich, creamy goat cheese, earthy walnuts and a light apple vinaigrette that’s mildly tart and sweet!
Yield: 4servings
Ingredients
1/3cuplight apple juice, such as Trop50 Farmstand Apple
2tablespoonsapple cider vinegar
1teaspoonhoney
A pinch of salt
A pinch of pepper
1tablespooncanola oil
6cupsSpring Mix, or other baby greens or lettuce blend – I pack my cups for extra salad
1medium Granny Smith apple, cut into matchstick pieces
2ouncescrumbled goat cheese
¼cupchopped walnuts
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, stir together the apple juice, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper until well combined. Add the oil and stir in.
To build the salads, place 1 ½ cups (lightly packed) of greens onto each plate and top with ¼ of the apple slices. Sprinkle ½ an ounce of goat cheese and a tablespoon of walnuts over each plate. Make sure to stir or shake the dressing again before adding it to combine ingredients. Drizzle two tablespoons of the dressing over each salad.*Build each salad to serve! If you’re only serving one or two salads, store the remaining dressing in an airtight container in the fridge and toss the leftover apple slices in lemon juice (also store in the fridge). You don’t want to build the leftover salads and dress them until you’re ready to eat them.
