Ingredients
- 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 cup walnuts roughly chopped
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 cups mixed salad greens such as baby spinach, arugula, or spring mix
- 1 red apple thinly sliced
- 1 green apple thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled, optional
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 teaspoon salt plus more, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the sugar until it dissolves, then add the walnuts and ground cinnamon.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the walnuts are lightly toasted and well coated, about 2 minutes. Move walnuts to a plate to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, red apple slices, green apple slices, dried cranberries, and feta cheese. Toss gently to mix the flavors.
- Whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Adjust honey and salt to taste as needed. Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad and toss to coat.
- Sprinkle the walnuts over the salad. Serve immediately.
