Winter Apple Bacon Salad With Maple Vinaigrette Dressing

February 2, 2018 by Erin Porter Leave a Comment

This winter apple bacon salad just may be the best tasting salad I ever made.  In the winter months we really don’t think “salad” as much as we do comfort foods like soups and chili, but this maple vinaigrette really gives this salad a warm winter feel.  Not to mention this salad is packed with nutrition!  You could also pair this with a hearty Lentil Chorizo Sausage soup.  Click here for recipe.

Let’s take a look at some of the health benefits of this salad:

Apple Cider Vinegar – the malic acid it contains has anti-fungal properties both when taken internally and topically, it helps regulate blood sugar, lowers cholesterol, and helps with acid reflux and blood pressure.

Pecans – great for your heart, helps reduce inflammation (the cause of most disease).  They are a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals like potassium, calcium, and magnesium. They are also a good source of vitamin A, B, and E.

Greens – greens are rich in Vitamin A and C and also contain minerals such as potassium, iron, and folate, not to mention they are extremely low calorie.

Organic Apples – loaded with vitamin B6, C, and K,.  There is also research to show apples may prevent Alzheimers, fight heart disease and diabetes, as well as lower your risk against some cancers.  What I love about Crunch Pak organic apples is there are no pesticides or artificial preservatives, plus they are cut and ready to go!

Stay tuned –  next week I’ll be posting about how to limit the damage antibiotics cause, just in case you find yourself (or your children) on them like I found myself last month.

  • 8-10 slices Crunch Pak organic apples

About Me

I have been fortunate enough to have been featured on national Television including PBS American Health Journal and Know the Cause, God TV, Christian Television Network and more. If you have any chronic disease that has not responded to traditional medicine there is often one cause that is often overlooked. This was the case for me and until I found my "cause" I would stay sick for decades. I am interested in sharing information on how to heal not only physically but emotionally as well. I have a degree in photography and besides my passion for photographing food, my other loves are my family, writing, helping others, and creating new healthy recipes. All of which gets to be played out by having EPGW. I am blessed to be living out my purpose! continue →
