Ingredients

- 1 medium Apple (such as Gala or Granny Smith)
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 0.5 cup Crumbled feta cheese

- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar

Directions
Step 1
Toast the walnuts: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat, add the walnuts, and toast for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 2
Prepare the apples: Core the apple and slice it thinly into wedges or matchsticks, depending on your preference. Optionally, toss the slices with a little lemon juice to prevent browning.
Step 3
Make the dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Set aside.
Step 4
Assemble the salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, apple slices, toasted walnuts, crumbled feta cheese, and dried cranberries.
Step 5
Dress the salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Step 6
Serve: Divide the salad into individual bowls or plates and serve immediately. Enjoy!
