Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Honeycrisp apples, cored and thinly sliced
- 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup pecans, toasted and roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced Honeycrisp apples, crumbled feta cheese, dried cranberries, and toasted pecans.
- Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Step 3: Pour the dressing over the apple mixture and gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly. Be careful not to over-toss, as the apples may break.
- Step 4: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. You may wish to add a pinch more salt, pepper, or cinnamon depending on your preference.
- Step 5: Serve immediately or chill for later. The salad is best served within a few hours of preparation to prevent the apples from browning excessively.
Notes
- For best flavor and texture, enjoy this salad within a few hours of preparation, as the apples will brown if left too long.
- This salad is not designed for reheating; the apples will become mushy.
- Serve this vibrant salad alongside roasted chicken or pork for a complete and satisfying autumnal meal.
- To prevent the apples from browning too quickly, toss the salad gently and consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice to the dressing.
