Ingredients

• 4 cups Mixed greens (baby spinach, arugula, and lettuce)
• 1 medium Apple (thinly sliced)
• 1 cup Pecans (toasted)
• 1 cup Dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese (crumbled)
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 0.333 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing and drying the mixed greens. Place them in a large salad bowl.

Step 2

Thinly slice the apple and add the slices to the bowl with the greens.

Step 3

Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Once toasted, allow them to cool slightly before adding them to the salad bowl.

Step 4

Add the dried cranberries and crumbled feta cheese to the bowl with the greens, apples, and pecans.

Step 5

To make the cinnamon swirl dressing, whisk together the cinnamon, honey, Greek yogurt, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and ground black pepper in a small mixing bowl until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Gently toss the salad to ensure an even coating of the dressing.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of sweet, savory, and cinnamon-spiced flavors.
