It’s officially Fall, y’all! I have to admit, here at NBK, we’re off to a strong start with Fall recipes and this Ultimate Fall Salad is no exception. It’s packed with all the Fall flavors and colors. And honestly, it looks almost too pretty to eat.
I recently made this salad for our bible study community and everyone raved about the combination of flavors. We enjoyed it along side bacon burgers and it was fantastic! That being said, if you want to make this salad a complete and balanced meal, I recommend adding one (or multiple) of the following:
- Hardboiled eggs
- Bacon
- Roasted salmon
- Prosciutto
My inspiration for this salad came from the recipe for my Paleo-ish Winter Salad. I decided that I needed to create a salad for every season to best feature the in-season produce. Obviously, we’re starting with Fall! This salad recipe features many Fall ingredients, including:
- Avocado
- Pecans
- Roasted carrots
- Apple
- Goat cheese
And, like I said, we’re kicking off the Fall season the right way around here- AKA with lots of new Fall recipes. So, in case you’ve missed the latest, I’ve linked them for you, here:
