Fall Farm Salad

This may have been the most random salad I've ever made, but it was also one of the tastiest. And everything except for the dressing, pecans and the bread for the croutons was from either our One Straw CSA or from Marker Miller Orchards in VA (we stopped there for cider donuts after a visit to the gloriously kitschy Dinosaur Land).

The rundown:

-Arugula
-Cauliflower
-"Kentucky Black" Apples
-Kohlrabi, cut into small cubes
-Cherry tomatoes
-Red spring onions
-Purple basil
-Bacon (from a local VA farm)
-Homemade croutons
-Pecans

First I cooked the bacon in the oven on a sheet pan. Then tossed the cauliflower florets (cut small), bread cubes & pecans in the bacon drippings and roasted those in the oven (oh yeah!). That was tossed with the rest of the items. Trader Joe's Goddess dressing and...happy local(ish) salad!

We also picked up this at Marker Miller Orchards, it's from Peaks Of Otter Winery:

Hwa! Yeah, that had a bite. Good stuff.
