• Apples: You can use almost any apple for this salad – I recommend pink lady, honey crisp, or fuji apples. 
• Greens: Use your favorite greens for this salad such as kale, arugula, spinach, or mixed greens. 
• Make dairy-free: If needed you can eliminate the cheese all together or swap for goat cheese.
• Make this salad ahead: If this salad needs to be prepped ahead of time I recommend storing all the prepped ingredients in separate ziplock bags, then assemble the salad as needed close to the time of serving. 

This salad has an abundance of autumn flavors paired with a tangy balsamic dressing served over leafy greens. Make this healthy apple & pomegranate salad as an addition to your favorite weeknight meal or add to your Thanksgiving/holiday spread! ENJOY.
