  • 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 4 cups mixed greens

Dressing Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, thinly sliced Honeycrisp apples, crumbled feta cheese, chopped walnuts, and dried cranberries to form the base of your salad.
  2. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and honey until the dressing is well emulsified and smooth.
  3. Dress the Salad: Pour the prepared dressing evenly over the salad ingredients in the large bowl.
  4. Toss the Salad: Gently toss all the ingredients together to ensure the dressing coats the salad evenly without bruising the delicate greens and apples.
  5. Season and Serve: Season the salad with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Give it one last gentle toss before serving immediately for the freshest flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For added crunch, toast the walnuts lightly before adding.
  • Use fresh Honeycrisp apples for the best flavor and crispness.
  • Adjust the honey in the dressing to your preferred sweetness level.
  • This salad is best served immediately to prevent the apples from browning.
  • Can be customized with other nuts or dried fruits as desired.
