This simple salad is the perfect side to make all fall and is an easy dish to bring along to your Thanksgiving. We don’t believe in boring salads at Delish, and crunchy apples and tart cranberries bring a lot of life to this one. The slightly sweet and lemony dressing is easy to make, and you’ll want to have extra on hand to pour it over everything. Feel free to use your favorite apples for this. I like extra-crunchy, sweet, and tart ones, so I used a Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. You can also use goat cheese instead of feta or walnuts in place of the pecans. It’s easily customizable!
