The Arizona desert has welcomed fall. This weekend we have had clouds and rain cooling the ground and air. I’m very thankful for our rain and glad to be watching the snow fall in the Midwest from my TV screen 😉 

With fall comes the harvest of one of Americans favorite fruits-apples! If you live in Washington state it’s harvest time for the famous Honeycrisp apple. Right now you should be able to find a great price on these juicy and sweet apples. 

I made this salad for lunch last week with some inspiration from my local grocers mailer. It was so yummy I had a second serving! 

In less than 15 minutes you can prepare and enjoy this fall salad too.

This was a delicious and light fall salad. I plan on making it again and trying it with some grilled chicken. This would also be a great and easy recipe to bring to a potluck.
