How to Make my Fall Harvest Salad
All this salad contains is some spring mix, roasted sweet potatoes, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and goat cheese! Then for the dressing, it contains some olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic powder, and salt. Everything is super simple yet this salad is packed with flavour!
How to Serve
This makes a great work lunch as it is or paired with a nice piece of baguette even. This also makes a great addition to any fall dinner parties or even as a Thanksgiving dinner side if you’re looking for something fresh yet comforting!
How to Store
This salad is best enjoyed right after it’s made. If you are making it ahead or meal prepping it, I recommend keeping the dressing separate and pouring over top right before you are about to eat to keep the salad from getting soggy.

I really enjoy this salad because it leaves me feeling full without being too full. It’s also really pretty and I like the variety of textures and flavours. It’s a really fun one to make this time of year as it’s fresh but also uses some fun, seasonal ingredients. It makes a really great work lunch in my opinion, but can also be nice for a lighter dinner as well! I’m obsessed and hope you enjoy it too.
