Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced pastrami, apple slices, mixed salad greens, and red onion. Toss gently to combine and distribute the ingredients evenly.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until well emulsified. This dressing will enhance the flavors of the salad.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat all the ingredients without bruising the greens.
- Serve the salad immediately for the freshest taste, or chill for up to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Tips
- For added crunch, consider including toasted walnuts or pecans.
- Substitute the apple with pear for a different sweet flavor.
- Use smoked pastrami for an even deeper flavor profile.
