Step 3

In a small bowl or mason jar, combine the olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Whisk or shake well until the dressing is emulsified.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 5

Serve immediately and enjoy!
