Crisp apples, toasted walnuts, tangy feta, and dried cranberries come together on a bed of fresh greens, topped with a lightly sweet and zesty apple-honey dressing.

Salad
Mixed greens (I’m using Power Crunch by @80acresfarms)
Honeycrisp apples (or apples of your choice)
1 tbsp. lemon juice (for the apples)
Walnuts, toasted
Dried cranberries
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
Feta cheese crumbles
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup apple juice (unsweetened)
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
Juice of 1/2 lemon
3 tbsp. raw honey
Salt and cracked black pepper
Bake the walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet at 350°F for 10–12 minutes, or until golden and fragrant.
Slice the apples and place them in a bag. Squeeze the lemon juice over the apples, zip the bag, and shake to coat evenly. This prevents browning.
Layer the salad with mixed greens, red onion, walnuts, feta cheese, and apples.
In a mason jar, combine all the dressing ingredients, shake well, and pour over the salad just before serving.
