Honeycrisp Apple and Feta Salad

Print Recipe

A crisp and zesty salad featuring crunchy Honeycrisp apples, creamy feta, and fresh mixed greens, drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Ingredients

  • Honeycrisp Apples (2)
  • Feta Cheese (1 cup, crumbled)
  • Mixed Greens (4 cups, such as spinach and arugula)
  • Walnuts or Pecans (½ cup, optional)
  • Olive Oil (¼ cup)
  • Balsamic Vinegar (2 tablespoons)
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Apples: Begin by washing your Honeycrisp apples thoroughly. Slice them into thin wedges or bite-sized cubes—whatever suits your fancy. Chef’s tip: Leave the skin on!
  2. Prep the Greens: Next up, take your mixed greens and give them a nice rinse if they’re not pre-washed. Spin them in a salad spinner to remove excess water.
  3. Crumble the Feta: Time to take that luscious feta cheese and crumble it into little pieces over your greens.
  4. Add the Nuts: If you’re using nuts, now’s the time to toast them lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Assemble: In a large salad bowl, toss the greens, apple slices, and crumbled feta together. Sprinkle the toasted nuts on top.
  6. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  7. Dress the Salad: Drizzle your homemade dressing over the salad and toss gently.
  8. Serve: To plate, scoop the salad onto individual plates or a large serving platter.

Notes

Keep the dressing separate until serving to prevent wilting. Feel free to experiment with different nuts and add protein for a more filling meal.
