Autumn Harvest Salad with Maple-Tahini Dressing
Autumn Harvest salad with apples, berries, goat cheese, and creamy maple-tahini dressing.
This Autumn Harvest Salad brings it all together: mixed greens, juicy Pink Lady apples, sweet blackberries, pomegranate arils, crunchy walnuts, and creamy goat cheese — all tossed in a silky maple-tahini dressing that’s cozy, nutty, and naturally dairy-free.
It’s one of those salads that somehow tastes both refreshing and comforting — light enough for lunch, but hearty enough to pair with roasted chicken or a warm bowl of soup at dinner. And the best part? It looks fancy, but takes less than 15 minutes to throw together.
