When I think of fall foods, I start to picture comfort foods, warm soups, apples, and pumpkin. However, just because autumn is here it doesn't mean we have to miss out on light and refreshing salads. I really like this salad because the dressing isn't too sweet, which compliments the cranberries and apples. I used a spring mix for the lettuce and a honeycrisp apple, giving it a nice blend of fall color.
