Ingredients
Scale
2 Honeycrisp apples, cored and thinly sliced
4 cups mixed greens (baby spinach, arugula, or spring mix)
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/3 cup walnuts, toasted
1/4 cup dried cranberries or pomegranate seeds
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Optional: 1 teaspoon flaxseed or chia
Instructions
Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper until glossy and emulsified. If you prefer a quicker method, shake the dressing in a jar with a tight lid for 15–20 seconds.
Prep the greens: In a large salad bowl, add the greens and about half of the dressing. Toss until the leaves are lightly coated but not soggy.
Build the salad: Add the sliced apples, feta, toasted walnuts, and cranberries or pomegranate seeds. Gently toss to combine, so you keep the apples crisp and the cheese crumbly in every bite.
Finish and serve: Transfer to individual plates or a serving platter. Drizzle the remaining dressing lightly over the top and give a final sprinkle of salt, pepper, and optional seeds. Serve immediately for the best texture and brightness.
