This amazing apple pecan salad is loaded with so many delicious ingredients! Serve it up as a side salad or add some chicken or steak and make it into a dinner salad! I love how easy and delicious this salad is!

Easy Salad Recipe

When I was going to school for my undergraduate degree at CSU, Chico, I would love to visit a restaurant called Pluto’s. They make huge fresh salads that you get to top with a wide array of delicious toppings that change with the seasons. It was fun getting to try different fruits and nuts on my salads. I would always get a salad (I would get the half salad which filled up a large plate!), add steak and get a big piece of sourdough bread all for around $10. It was a delicious and filling meal that I always enjoyed.

Now that I live nowhere near Chico, CA, I’m always on the lookout for a great steak and salad combo that doesn’t cost $20 dollars or more and I have yet to find it! So now-a-days I just make my own! This is my go to salad recipe for a filling and delicious salad! I usually cook up a steak or some chicken to eat with it and it really is a super-fast, filling, and hands down one of the best salad recipes ever!

Apple Pecan Salad is easy and delicious!

Easy Salad Recipe

How to make this easy apple pecan salad:

  • This easy salad recipe can be put together in about 10 minutes or less.
  • Start with tossing your diced tomatoes in olive oil, season them with garlic powder, salt, and pepper and then broil them on high for 5 minutes.  I like to leave them in oven, with it turned off, after the 5 minutes to allow them to cook further until I’m ready to put them in the salad.
  • Then dice your apples, strawberries and avocado.
  • Combine all your toppings, add your favorite dressing, and voila!
  • You have a super simple and really tasty.

Give it a try; you are going to love it! Also, if you know of any good steak and salad restaurants let me know! I want to try them!

This easy and healthy apple salad is on of my favorites!

    I love that you roasted the tomatoes, that’s such a great way to add flavor to the salad. I would’ve never done that on my own and I love this salad combination. Definitely going to make mine with chicken.
