Whisk together the ¼ cup apple cider vinegar, ¼ cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 clove garlic , salt and pepper in a small bowl, then set the dressing aside.
In a large serving bowl, layer the 6 ounces mixed greens, 4 ounces goat cheese, ½ cup pomegranate arils, 2 large honey crisp apples, and ½ cup pecans.
Drizzle about half of the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat, then add the remaining dressing just before serving.
