INGREDIENTS
Salad
- 5 cups salad greens of your choice (I used a combination of baby spinach and loose leaf lettuce)
- 1 green apple, thinly sliced
- ½ small red onion, very thinly sliced
- ½ cup freshly toasted walnuts, roughly chopped
- ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
- small handful of fresh parsley leaves, optional
Dressing
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
It should be perfectly sweet and sour, but adjust to your taste.
Enjoy!
Tip: Slice the apple just before serving, since once cut, apples soon turn brown.
METHOD
- Toss salad greens, cored and thinly sliced apple, red onion, toasted walnuts, feta, and parsley leaves together in a large bowl.
- Whisk the dressing ingredients together until well combined, and pour over the salad immediately before serving.
Tip: Make this salad vegan by swapping honey for maple syrup and by omitting the feta cheese.
