Festive Apple Salad
Festive Apple Salad
I live surrounded by apple orchards, so this is the perfect festive salad for my family. I buy my apples and juice from a roadside stall not two minutes from my home — but you can get yours at the supermarket. This salad is fresh and light, perfect for a hot summer feast.

- ½ cup pepitas
- 2 medium red apples, sliced into thin slices

Method
- To make the dressing, place all ingredients into a jar and shake well.
- Place the pepitas in a dry pan over medium-high heat and toast them, shaking regularly, until they are fragrant.
- Set aside to cool.
- Sit apple slices in lemon water until ready to use.
- Place the salad greens into a large serving bowl.
- Lay the apple slices on top in pretty fans and then top with crumbled feta, pomegranate arils and toasted pepitas.
