This Apple Spinach Bacon Salad is the perfect side salad for fall. The combination of salty bacon, pecans, creamy avocado, and sweet apples and dried cranberries, all tossed in a homemade poppy seed dressing is amazing!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread pecans on a baking sheet and toast for 7-8 minutes until fragrant and toasted. Let cool.
Turn oven up to 425 degrees F. Lay bacon strips on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until cooked through. Remove and drain on a paper towel lined plate. Chop when cooled enough to handle.
In a large salad mixing bowl, toss together spinach, apples, avocados, cranberries, feta cheese, pecans, bacon and desired amount of dressing. Serve immediately.*
Notes
*Salad does not keep so only combine what will be eaten immediately.
