Apple Cranberry Pecan Salad

I love this fresh crisp salad!  Salads are great because you can add what you'd like and how much you like.  I didn't measure ingredient amounts because I like to eye it.  I'll guess the amounts below, but add the amounts you like!  The dressing is light and perfect with the apple salad! 


6 - 7 cups Spring salad mix
1 - 2 cups Iceberg lettuce, chopped
2 Honey crisp apples, cubed
1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup dried cranberries

Dressing
1/2 cup apple juice
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Toast the pecans in 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.  Stir and watch carefully so they don't burn, about 5 - 6 minutes.  Cool on paper towels.  Core and chop apples into small chunks.  Toss lettuce, apples, pecans, Parmesan cheese and cranberries together in a large bowl.

Whisk together all the dressing ingredients.  Toss with the salad immediately before serving.  You won't need all of the dressing, just use enough to lightly coat the salad.... or however much you like :)
