Remember the days when “salad” meant a boring bowl of iceberg lettuce plus a few measly cucumbers and tomatoes? If you were lucky, maybe there'd be an olive or two, or (gasp!) a few shreds of cheese.

Lettuce set you straight. There’s no need for bland basics when it’s this easy to whip up a satisfying salad with crisp apples, walnuts (or your favorite nut), dried cranberries, goat cheese, and a handful of pantry staples like our tangy Primal Kitchen Balsamic Dressing and Marinade. 

This fresh, festive Apple Walnut Salad is a year-round favorite and can be customized to your tastes or depending on what protein you have on hand. Toss in some chickpeas, or top with grilled chicken or salmon, for a heartier salad that can take center stage on your plate.
