1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional)
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise (optional, for a creamier texture)
Instructions:
Combine the diced green apples, dried cranberries, and chopped pecans in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey or maple syrup, lemon juice, and poppy seeds (if using). If you prefer a creamier dressing, mix in Greek yogurt or mayonnaise.

Add fresh pomegranate seeds or orange slices for extra color and flavor.
