- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar

Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the baby spinach leaves. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Core and thinly slice the apple into bite-sized pieces. Add the slices to the bowl with the spinach.
Crumble the feta cheese into smaller pieces if needed and add it to the salad bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion, then separate the layers into rings. Add the onion slices to the salad bowl.
If using, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Allow them to cool, then add to the salad bowl.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to create the vinaigrette.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
