Perfect Fall Salad

Eating a big serving of salad with dinner every night is something I am aspiring to do…it’s so healthy and delicious! It’s mostly a matter of having everything on hand and keeping a delicious vinaigrette in the refrigerater to pour over.

I’m one of those people who like to mix everything together on my plate … it all melds together into one delicious pile so I think a salad goes with everything! I’m probably making you cringe if you like to keep your food separated! Which ever way you like your salad…this one is great alone and is also very delicious mixed with whatever else you may be serving for dinner. You could also add grilled chicken or salmon to make this a main dish. You’re going to love this one!

One of the ingredients in this fall salad is spicy-sweet pecans. I make my own and they’re very easy, but if you’re short on time, pick them up at the grocery store.

The fall leaves were cooperating perfectly for our pictures. Don’t you just want to dig in and start eating?

My salad bowl came from a little boutique, but I found two very similar bowls on Amazon…here and here! The white lining on this bowl really makes the salad ingredients pop and I love a pretty salad! Add these fabulous salad servers for even more color!

I used my wine glasses from Haand (use code CRAZYBLONDELIFE for 15% off) but these brown stemmed ones would also be beautiful!

Even though this salad has goat cheese crumbles, I would still serve it with a cheese board, some warm bread and a bottle of rosé for a perfect light fall dinner and sooo easy!
