Fall is here — crisp mornings, golden leaves, cozy sweaters — at least up here in the mountains where I live. But along with the beauty of the season often come colds, flu, and other immune challenges. The shift from long summer days to cooler, shorter ones makes this the perfect time to nourish your immune system with foods that are seasonal, warming, and packed with protective nutrients.

This is one of my favorite go-to salads packed with nutrients – from colorful polyphenols to cruciferous cabbage.It’s crunchy with a hint of sweetness and an (almost) maple-y flavor from the pecans. It makes eating a salad a treat.
