- You can use any type of greens for the bed of this salad – kale, spinach, mixed greens, or arugula.
- If desired, swap feta for goat cheese or blue cheese.
This salad is the perfect addition to a fall meal you have planned or at your Thanksgiving feast. Even if you aren’t into salad – I can almost promise you will love this harvest salad! It is tart from the apples and sweet from the pomegranate seeds, and pairs perfectly with the tangy balsamic dressing.

Love the sweet and tart together with the feta cheese topping it off! Great salad for the hibernation season ?
PEOPLE!! You have GOT to try this salad if you haven’t already! It is SO delicious! Made it the day after Thanksgiving for a lighter supper to give our bodies a break from the ton of food & desserts consumed the day before. Perfect with some hearty multi grain rolls. I added some warmed up rotiseri chicken I had from a few nights before . . .delish! Also used blue cheese instead of feta, candied pecans instead of plain (hubby has a sweet tooth) and 1/4 of a granny smith apple & 1/4 of a honey crisp per salad. All those sweet & tart flavors make your taste buds sparkle! So, so yummy. Do not skip that dressing either . . .it is SO worth making it, only takes 2 seconds . . .measure all the ingredients into jar & shake . . .that’s it! . . .just the perfect finish for this salad!
Could I make this salad in advance? Planning on having people over for dinner and would like to make this salad in the morning .. what do you recommend ? Adding the chopped apples last ? Will the other ingredients get soagy
Thanks 🙂
Yes! I’ve actually made this salad ahead of time quite a few times. I like to just put everything in separate bags or containers. Greens, pomegranate seeds, apples, feta, and pecans should all be in separate bags so they don’t get soggy all together. Hope this helps – enjoy the salad 🙂
