Apple Craisin Crunch Salad: Our Family’s Favorite Green Salad
When a little sweetness is called for as an addition to a family meal, this is the salad we go for. Handed down from another amazing sister-in-law, all of us can make this salad with our eyes closed! Well, almost! The tang of the cranberries, the sweet crunch of the apple along with the salty savory of the feta cheese and nuttiness of roasted pecans, all dressed with a zesty poppy seed dressing makes this a salad to live for!
