In the fall season it is so easy to have your diet switch completely. For the last few months, we have been so worried about our summer bodies, but now we’re more concerned about sweater weather that our diets might slip a little bit. I do this every year! Fall is mostly about heavier dishes, desserts, and treats that sometimes our greens get pushed to the side.

My Autumn Chopped Salad is a great addition to your fall season recipes that will keep things fresh, crisp, and lite with tons of flavor. I love this recipe for a few reasons.  First, if you wanted to make this the main dish one night of the week it would absolutely fit the bill. If you need a side dish to add a fresh touch to any meal this recipe is a perfect go-to during the fall season.

With all the crisp romaine, bacon, and apples mixed with nutty pecans, feta cheese, and sweet cranberries this chopped salad fires on all cylinders!  Every texture and flavor component lives in this one salad!  This salad is a guaranteed way to satisfy everybody’s palate this autumn.
