For the autumn holiday Sukkot, cookbook author Chanie Apfelbaum makes this salad with fresh figs, apples, beets, and pecans. Sweet and fresh, it lends a refreshing crunch to heartier meats and starchy sides.
Serve this salad alongside Chanie’s pomegranate roast, and read about her Sukkot traditions in “Cookbook Author Chanie Apfelbaum Brings a Playful Spirit to Sukkot.”
