Last week, we kicked off autumn here at Recipe Shoebox by posting a new apple recipe a day. WE made sweet and savory dishes....some duds (that we didn't post) and some new family favorites. This salad recipe is most likely the last of our apple series and was another delicious addition to the collection. My family loved the sweet and salty combination in this hearty salad and with how easy it was to throw together I envision this one being one that we make on a regular basis.
