This salad comes together in 15 minutes and is delicious! I find the key to eating healthy is to have some go to options in your repertoire that are quick, easy, and use ingredients that I typically have on hand.

The apple here is bright and refreshing here and the tartness plays well with the salty prosciutto. I used Granny Smith here but have used HoneyCrisp which are my favorite variety of apple.  Use what you like!

When I’m feeding the boys before football practice, I often add grilled shrimp or chicken and perhaps a scoop of quinoa to bump up the protein or just for a more filling salad.

The caramelized pecans adds a much needed textural contrast but you can certainly sub in pepitas or your favorite nuts or seeds here - which I do as well.

If you try it, let me know what you think!
