  • Introduce 1 cup of halved grape tomatoes and 0.5 medium sliced red onion to the bowl. Mix into the salad.
  • Toss in 0.67 cup of dried sweetened cranberries and 0.5 cup of pecan halves, mixing gently.
  • Drizzle 0.5 cup of dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients.
  • Transfer the salad to serving bowls or a platter and garnish with extra apple chips if desired.
