SO… what will you need for this autumn chopped salad with homemade dressing?

Chickpeas: rinsed and drained
Greens: I use a mix of shaved brussel sprouts, romaine lettuce, spinach and arugula
Apple: sliced or chopped – if you are making this recipe in the fall, take advantage of any fresh apples from a local orchard, farm stand or farmer’s market!
Dried cranberries (also known as craisins): these add a great sweet profile to the dish. Look for unsweetened or naturally fruit sweetened dried cranberries if sticking to no added sugar or sugar free. I found a great one at Trader Joe’s.
Pecans: if you are short on time, you can leave these raw but if you have a little time, I highly recommend roasting these!
