Ingredients:

4 fresh Tree Fruit Apples, any variety
1 head fresh green lettuce
Fresh lemon juice from two lemons, divided
1-2 Garlic Cloves
1 tbsp. Brown Sugar
1/2 cup Salad oil (olive, canola, or grape seed)
1/2 cup Pecans (or walnuts, pine nuts, almonds etc.)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4-1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese 
Salt & Pepper to taste
Mayonnaise 1-2 tsp.

Method:

Grate the garlic cloves and mix lemon juice in it by squeezing lemons but be careful, do not let the seeds get inside. This will neutralize the taste of garlic and will not over power the salad.

Place the pecans on a baking sheet, put it in the cold oven and preheat to 350. When the oven reaches temperature and beeps, the nuts are usually toasted—do watch!—then remove the nuts to cool.

Wash the lettuce and tear it into bit size pieces. Place them in a large serving bowl.

Mix the brown sugar, salad oil, salt, pepper, and mayonnaise into the garlic/lemon juice. Blend well. (The mayo will keep the oil and liquid from separating, but it is optional if you prefer a lighter salad.)

Core the apples and slice into bite size wedges. Soak them in the juice from the second lemon so that they will not turn brown. Arrange the slices on the outside edge of the salad bowl.

Right before serving, toss the dressing with the salad. Top with toasted nuts, dried cranberries and grated parmesan.
