Ingredients
  

  • 8 spinach/arugula mix
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 2 gala apples
  • ⅓ cup goat cheese

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ cup apple juice
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Cook the bacon: You can make the bacon in the oven, microwave, air fryer, or any way you want. For this recipe we used the oven but we have used air fryer bacon.
  • Dice the apples and the bacon once it’s cooled off.
  • Make the dressing by adding all of the dressing ingredients to a bowl and mixing them together.
  • Assemble the salad: Place the arugula/spinach salad mix, add the apples, bacon, pecans, dried cranberries, and goat cheese.
  • Drizzle the salad dressing on top.

Notes

  • Use precooked bacon if you want to save some time. You can also use air fryer bacon.
  • Experiment with the flavors by adding other fruits, nuts, cheeses, veggies, or your favorite salad ingredients.
