Ingredients

  • 2 Honeycrisp apples, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 cup mixed greens (arugula, spinach, baby kale)
  • 1/4 cup toasted pecans or walnuts
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins (optional)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 tsp honey
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Toast the nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and lightly browned.
  2. Wash and slice the apples, cucumber, and red onion. Combine with mixed greens and feta in a large bowl.
  3. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper.
  4. Drizzle dressing over the salad, toss gently, and top with toasted nuts and cranberries. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For added protein, top with grilled chicken or shrimp.
  • Goat cheese or blue cheese can be used instead of feta.
  • Almonds or pumpkin seeds can be substituted for pecans or walnuts.
  • To prevent browning, drizzle lemon juice on apple slices if prepping ahead.
  • Store components separately for freshness; consume within 1–2 days.
