For the Salad

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Begin by washing and drying the Honeycrisp apples. Use a sharp knife to thinly slice them, aiming for even pieces about ¼ inch thick. Place the apples in a large mixing bowl.
- Crumble the feta cheese over the apples in the bowl. If using walnuts, add them to the mixture now.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard. Whisk until smooth and emulsified, about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the apple, feta, and walnut mixture. Gently toss everything together to evenly coat the apples with the dressing.
- Transfer the salad to a serving platter or divide it among individual bowls. Serve immediately to enjoy the crispness of the apples and the creaminess of the feta.
Notes
Choose fresh Honeycrisp apples for the best texture. Toasting walnuts enhances their flavor. Serve this salad immediately for optimal freshness.
