    I guess the biggest decision now is what dressing...............trying to decide if I want to use mayo or vinegar.

    This is a recipe for blue cheese and pear salad, but it would probably work with apples too. I use the dressing recipe on many different salads. It's fantastic. I don't bother with candying the pecans (just toss them in plain).

    Cabbage, apples and finely chopped onion... make a sweet version of a coleslaw dressing using mayo, vinegar, sugar and a splash of milk with a bit of salt and pepper.

    So yummy!

    I like apples, arugula, goats cheese and cranberries with a simple balsamic vinaigrette.

    There's a resturant that uses pickles apples along with cranberries, almonds, and feta cheese and it is AMAZING. I would do a quick search for pickled apples if you want to try something a little different.

    I would suggest one of my favorites

    Optional 4 oz chopped cooked Chicken breast
    2 green apples cored and cut up to chunks - douse in lemon juice to keep the color
    2 celery stalks chopped bit sized
    2 tablespoons each of chopped walnuts,onion, golden raisins, red pepper,
    1-2 tablespoons of Curry powder plus a pinch of cayenne pepper - to taste
    1/4 cup low fat mayo
    1/4 cup low or zero fat greek yogurt
    Salt & pepper to taste

    Mix the mayo yogurt and curry powder in a small bowl first
    Toss the rest together then toss with the dressing

    Whenever I need a recipe for anything, I go to allrecipes.com. They have a great search app and most of the recipes have nutrition details. You can view other people's comments too for ways to modify it, etc. It's great for when you're thinking "I've got____, but don't know what to do with it!"

    You don't need a recipe for salad. Just put some chopped apples in whatever salad sounds good to you. That is the beauty of salad. I also recommend grapes, nectarine and lychee.

    Don't be crazy. Those don't go in salad. *eyeroll*

    In my grilled chicken salads I top it with: apples, mandarin oranges, dried cranberries, feta cheese, and blueberries. Then I use a strawberry vinaigrette dressing. :) It's also really good with strawberries in it! :love:
