Description
A crisp, refreshing salad with sweet pears, tart apples, dried cranberries, and salty feta cheese tossed in a tangy apple cider vinaigrette.
Ingredients
Scale
- For the salad:
- 1 ripe pear, thinly sliced (Anjou or Bosc)
- 1 apple, thinly sliced (Honeycrisp or Gala)
- 3/4 cup dried cranberries
- 4 cups mixed greens (or baby spinach)
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup candied pecans (optional)
- For the vinaigrette:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl or mason jar, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.

- Drizzle with the vinaigrette and toss gently to coat.

Notes
If not serving right away, keep the vinaigrette separate and dress just before serving. You can use walnuts or almonds instead of pecans. For a dairy-free version, omit feta or use a plant-based feta.
