Wash and dry the mixed greens thoroughly. Place them in a large salad bowl.

Toast the almonds and walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Let them cool before adding them to the salad.
If desired, crumble the feta cheese and sprinkle it over the salad.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Drizzle the honey-citrus dressing evenly over the salad just before serving.
Toss the salad gently to ensure the dressing is distributed evenly. Serve immediately and enjoy!
