Ingredients
- 3 pieces Crisp apples (e.g., Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 cups Mixed salad greens (e.g., arugula, spinach, or spring mix)
- 0.75 cups Walnuts, chopped
- 0.5 cups Feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.25 cups Dried cranberries (optional)
- 3 tablespoons Walnut oil
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Directions
Step 1
Wash the apples thoroughly. Core them and slice them thinly, leaving the skin on for texture and color.
Step 2
Toss the apple slices with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice in a bowl to prevent browning. Set aside.
Step 3
In a small dry skillet, toast the chopped walnuts over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove them from the heat and allow them to cool.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the walnut oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Step 5
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, lemon-tossed apple slices, toasted walnuts, and dried cranberries (if using).
Step 6
Drizzle the walnut oil dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure the ingredients are evenly coated.
Step 7
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top as a finishing touch.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy the crisp and refreshing flavors of this apple salad.
