Instructions for Salad
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the pecans evenly on a baking sheet and toast them for 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden.
- Step 2: In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the orange juice, white sugar, apple pie spice, lemon zest, and orange zest. Cook for 3-4 minutes until sugar dissolves.
- Step 3: While the dressing cools, core and slice the green and red apples into bite-sized pieces and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Step 4: Peel the navel oranges and segment them by cutting between the membranes, cutting into smaller bite-sized pieces if desired.
- Step 5: In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple pieces, dried cranberries, cooled pecans, grapes, and orange segments. Gently toss together.
- Step 6: Drizzle the spiced citrus dressing over the fruit and toss gently until all fruit is coated.
- Step 7: Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
