- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
- 2 teaspoons orange juice concentrate
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced

- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 4 slices of cooked bacon, chopped

- 2 honey crisp apples, chopped

Notes
- Salad Ingredients: feel free to adjust any of the salad ingredients according to your own personal preferences.
- Make Ahead: this is a great salad to prep ahead of time – just cut the apples right before serving so they don’t turn brown and don’t add any dressing before serving (or things will get soggy).
- Dairy Free: omit the parmesan cheese or swap with a dairy-free alternative.
