Apple Candied Pecan Harvest Salad

Elevate your grain bowl offerings with this vibrant blend of ancient grains, fresh fruit, and sweet-and-savory toppings.

A hearty, texture-rich evolution of the classic harvest salad. This version utilizes a nutrient-dense base of quinoa, bulgur wheat, and chickpeas, layered with fresh Granny Smith apple slices, crunchy candied pecans, and tangy goat cheese. It’s a sophisticated, grain-forward dish with well-balanced sweetness and acidity.

Ingredients

Prep & Assembly:

  1. Place a light bed of mixed greens in the bowl to provide volume and color.
  2. Scoop the Harvest Grain Salad over the center of the greens.
  3. Arrange the fresh apple slices in a fan pattern on one side of the grain base.
  4. Top with candied pecans and goat cheese crumbles.
  5. Drizzle with additional cider vinaigrette (if desired) – the grain base is pre-dressed for convenience.
