APPLE PECAN ARUGULA SALAD
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and arrange pecans on a bare baking sheet.
- Bake pecans for 8-10 minutes or until fragrant and deep golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside.
- While pecans are toasting, prep remaining salad ingredients and add to a large mixing bowl.
- Prepare dressing in a mixing bowl or mason jar by adding all ingredients and whisking or shaking vigorously to combine. Taste and adjust flavor as needed.
- Add pecans to salad and top with dressing. Toss to combine and serve immediately. Serves two as an entrée and 4 as a side (as original recipe is written // adjust if altering default number of servings).
- Store leftovers (dressing separate from salad) covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days (though best when fresh). Dressing should keep at room temperature for 2-3 days when well sealed.

FENNEL-APPLE SALAD WITH WALNUTS
A bright and tangy salad cuts the heaviness of the typical Thanksgiving meal. This one, with fennel, celery, apples and toasted walnuts, is all crunch, which the carb-heavy meal can generally use more of. You can make the dressing a day ahead and store it in the fridge, but don't dress the salad until an hour before serving.

APPLE LEMON BASIL SALAD
This awesome salad is a "No Cook", "Simple" and (if you have a food processor) "20 Minutes or Less" recipe. It's a shredded salad that is easily adapted to smaller or larger servings and would be great for a potluck or bbq. The dressing is lemony and tangy. Use whatever apples appeal to you, but I don't recommend Granny Smith. A bit tart is okay, but the dressing is tangy and a sweeter apple helps balance that. I used Pink Ladies. The salad did fine overnight in the refrigerator, I was happy to find that the apples did not discolor and stayed crunchy overnight.

Steps:
- To make the dressing, whisk together yogurt and sour cream in a small mixing bowl.
- Add the rest of the dressing ingredients and whisk together well. (Just to clarify, total light brown sugar is 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon).
- Mix the shredded apple, carrot, and raisins together in a large mixing or salad bowl.
- Add the dressing to the salad and toss/stir well.
- At this point taste the salad. It should be pretty tangy. Toss the salad with 1/4 tsp table salt and this will cut the tanginess. If you wish to cut the tanginess any more, add salt by "the pinch" and taste. Be very careful not to add too much.
- I prefer to add the basil right before serving.
- Basil can vary in strength, so add 1/2 cup to the salad and mix. Taste and add remaining basil if necessary. The basil flavor becomes more prominent the longer the salad sits.
- You can serve right away, but I like to let the salad sit covered in the fridge to "mellow" for 1/2 hour to an hour.

ELLEN'S LEMON BASIL SALAD DRESSING
Ellen Greenblatt, a friend who lives in Berkeley, Calif., shared this recipe with me. Toss a green salad with this dressing, and no additional herbs will be necessary. It is perfect for chicken salad or drizzled over a cooked chicken breast; use it over shrimp, salmon or sliced tomatoes. Ms. Greenblatt uses a mini food processor, but the dressing also can be made in a mortar and pestle. Try it on some of the salads in the Recipes for Health index.

Steps:
- Place the basil in the bowl of a mini food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the lemon juice, salt, pepper and honey, and pulse several times until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the olive oil and process until emulsified. Taste and adjust honey and salt. Serve right away to preserve the color.

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp hold their shape well in salads and provide a nice contrast to the sweet dressing.
- Slice the apples thinly: This will help them absorb the dressing better and make them easier to eat.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. You can always add more if needed, but it's hard to take it away.
- Use fresh herbs: Basil, mint, and cilantro all add a refreshing flavor to this salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but they won't be as flavorful.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best when served fresh. The apples will start to brown if they sit for too long.
Conclusion:
This apple lemon basil salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
