Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Fresh apple (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 1 cup Dried apple rings
- 4 cups Mixed greens (spinach, arugula, or spring mix)
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the fresh apples thoroughly and cut them into thin slices or matchsticks, discarding the core.
Roughly chop the dried apple rings into bite-sized pieces.
In a large salad bowl, combine the sliced fresh apples, dried apple pieces, and mixed greens.
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Allow to cool slightly, then add to the salad.
Sprinkle the feta cheese and dried cranberries over the salad mix.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Double Apple Salad!
