Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Apples (preferably Gala or Honeycrisp)
- 120 grams Mixed salad greens
- 100 grams Feta cheese
- 30 grams Pine nuts
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and core the apples, then slice them into thin wedges. Set aside.
Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
Thinly slice the red onion into half-moon shapes. Rinse under cold water to reduce its sharpness and pat dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, sliced apples, red onion, and pine nuts. Toss gently to mix.
Crumble the feta cheese over the salad and sprinkle with fresh dill.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss lightly to coat everything evenly.
Serve immediately as a light main course or as a side dish alongside grilled chicken or fish.
