Healthy spiralized apple salad made in only 15 minutes! A refreshing salad topped with oranges, pecans, cheddar cheese, cranberries, sunflower and chia seeds.
ingredient
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, plus 1 teaspoon zest
- 2 tablespoons orange juice, plus 1 teaspoon zest
- 2 teaspoons honey, or maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large red apple, Honeycrisp or Fuji
- 1 large granny smith apple
- 1 large orange, cut into segments
- 2 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese, cut into ¼" cubes
- ⅓ cup pecans
- ¼ cup dried cranberries, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds, optional
Directions
- Make the Dressing – In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice an zest, orange juice and zest, honey, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the olive oil until a lightly thickened dressing is formed. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
- Cut the Apples – Spiralize all of the apples. I used the "D" setting on my Inspiralizer (or noodles) and it yielded about 6 cups total of spiralized apples.
- Assemble the Salad – Add the cut apple to a large serving bowl. Top with orange segments, cheese, pecans, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds (if using).
- To Serve – Whisk the dressing right before adding to the salad. Drizzle citrus dressing on top of the apple salad.
