One of the very first times I ate dinner at my mother in law’s house she served this salad and it’s been a favorite of mine ever since.

With an easy homemade dressing, and thinly sliced apples and bacon, you can’t really go wrong with this light and delicious salad and red wine vinaigrette Dressing. I made it recently for a family gathering, and everyone was asking for the recipe. So, I thought I’d share it with you today!

Here’s my recipe for this delicious Cranberry Apple Bacon Salad:
