My son and I love fruit and fruitsalad has to be the most underrated items that I always enjoy! Here is a great seasonal fall salad recipe for your Thanksgiving.
What you need:
2 medium green apples
2 medium red apples
¾ cup cranberries dried
1 cup pecans
1 cup grapes
3 medium naval orange
1 medium Lemon
Dressing:
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup sugar white
1/4 tsp apple pie spice
1 zest lemon
1 zest orange
Lets get started:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place pecans on a baking sheet and place them in the oven while it’s heating up. Remove pecans from the oven when you can smell them, about the same time the oven is fully heated. Remove from the oven and cool.
In a small saucepan, mix orange juice, sugar, apple pie spice, zest of 1 lemon, and zest of 1 orange. Place over medium heat. Whisk to combine. Bring to a low boil and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Strain in a fine mesh strainer and cool completely.
Core and slice apples into bite-sized pieces. Toss apples with juice from half a lemon to prevent browning.
Cut the peel off the orange and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, mix apples, dried cranberries, toasted pecans, grapes, and oranges. Drizzle dressing over the fruit and toss to combine.
Serve.
