The combination of apple, bacon, pecan and arugula is up there in the "things that go together" culinary pantheon. The maple-yogurt dressing is creamy, slightly sweet and will become your new go-to for salads.

Directions

  1. Prepare the salad: Heat a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring often, until just crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Meanwhile, halve and core the apples, then thinly slice. Transfer to a large bowl.
  2. Make the dressing: Combine all of the ingredients in a jar or container with a lid. Cover and shake to combine.
  3. Finish the salad: Add the arugula, pecans and bacon to the large bowl. Add as much dressing as you like, toss to coat and serve.
