Description
Sweet-tart apple slices and crisp greens are tossed with crunchy walnuts and salty feta, then coated in a glossy honey-lemon dressing that glistens on each vibrant leaf.
Ingredients
- 2 medium Honeycrisp apples
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Wash and dry Honeycrisp apples then core and thinly slice them, tossing immediately with lemon juice to prevent browning.

- Place mixed salad greens in a large bowl and top with sliced apples, walnuts, crumbled feta, and red onion.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.

Notes
