Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing and drying your fresh Honeycrisp apples thoroughly. Slice them into bite-sized pieces, discarding the core.
  2. Crumble the creamy feta cheese into small chunks, ensuring it's ready to blend seamlessly with the other ingredients.
  3. Chop your choice of nuts—walnuts or pecans—into smaller pieces to enhance the crunchiness in every bite.
  4. In a small mixing bowl, combine honey, Dijon mustard, and olive oil. Whisk together for about 1–2 minutes until you achieve a creamy emulsion.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, add your mixed greens as a base. Gently fold in the chopped Honeycrisp apples, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped nuts.
  6. Drizzle the honey mustard vinaigrette generously over the salad. Toss the ingredients together carefully to coat them with the dressing.
  7. Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual bowls and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
