The walnuts add a touch of nutty flavor, and the cranberries and goat cheese provide a bit of tartness and creaminess. The dressing is made with olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and honey, and it adds a touch of sweetness and acidity to the salad. This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables, and it is also a good source of protein and fiber.
This salad was inspired by a trip I took to the farmers market last fall. I was looking for something light and refreshing to eat for lunch, and I came across a beautiful bunch of kale. I also had some apples, walnuts, and cranberries on hand, so I decided to throw them all together in a salad. The result was a delicious and satisfying salad that I have been making ever since. I like to add goat cheese to the salad for a bit of creaminess, but you can leave it out if you prefer. I also like to use a variety of apples in the salad, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji.
