I love making fresh salads for lunch. Simple, quick, and easy! My Apple Cranberry Spinach Salad is one of my very favorites.

It is packed with fall favorites like apples and cranberries. It is topped with a homemade maple cranberry dressing made with apple cider vinegar.

I top the salad with lots of crunch from toasted pecans and a nice bite from crumbles feta cheese.
