This Cranberry Apple Salad with a Creamy Vinaigrette combines crisp apples, tangy cranberries, feta cheese, walnuts and a creamy yogurt-based dressing.

The Twins regular season is slowly winding down and Jack could not be more excited for the playoffs! The Twins had a super fun Fan Appreciation Day – complete with a drive thru celebration.

The boys absolutely loved it. Jack’s eyes reminded me of that emoji that has star eyes. Will was super excited too but he was NOT a fan of the traffic. There was a lot of “Can these cars just move ALREADY?!”

While weren’t able to get out of the car, it was still so fun to be able to GO to an event. It seemed like a little taste of normalcy amongst the chaos we currently find ourselves in.

Not quite sure how, but it is already October. And with the month of October, comes all the pumpkin and apple treats. There are so many recipes out there for fall-inspired treats, I thought why not create something fall-ish that isn’t a sweet?!

Cranberry Apple Salad with a Creamy Vinaigrette

My Cranberry Apple Salad is the fall salad you never knew you needed, until now. Crisp apples, tangy cranberries, feta cheese, walnuts and a creamy yogurt based dressing all sit on top a bed of arugula. This salad is seriously delicious.

What is the Best Type of Apple?

Honeycrisp. Hands down. This apple was created right here in Minnesota and is my favorite apple ever. It’s the perfect combination of sweet and tart with the perfect crunch. Honeycrisp apples are perfect for eating, baking, or topping salads.

What Type of Lettuce Should I Use?

I am always partial to arugula because it is so flavorful. It has a slight peppery flavor to it that gives it a really unique flavor that blends perfectly with the toppings and dressing on this salad. If you can’t find arugula, pretty much any type of lettuce would work!

Tips for Involving Kids

Let them help you slice the apples and assemble the salads.
Have them help you assemble the wraps – they can choose how many veggies they want in their wrap.
There is always going to be a mess when you cook with your kids but, like my little guy Will says, “It’s okay Mom, chefs make messes and then they clean it up.” Have fun cooking with your kids!!
