Ingredients

  • 2 large Honeycrisp apples, cored and thinly sliced or diced
  • 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens (spinach, arugula, spring mix)
  • ½ cup toasted walnuts or pecans, roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Toss sliced apples in lemon juice to prevent browning.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the vinaigrette.

  4. Add the apples, feta cheese, red onion, and toasted nuts on top.
  5. Drizzle the vinaigrette evenly over the salad.
  6. Gently toss to combine and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Swap feta for goat cheese, blue cheese, or ricotta salata.
  • Add dried cranberries, pomegranate seeds, or apple chips for extra texture.
  • Use candied nuts for a sweet, crunchy twist.
  • Incorporate fresh herbs like mint or basil for brightness.
  • Try kale or shaved Brussels sprouts for a heartier base.
