Description
A delightful salad combining the sweetness of Honeycrisp apples with the tangy creaminess of feta cheese and peppery arugula.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Honeycrisp apples, sliced
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 4 cups arugula
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Optional add-ins: sautéed walnuts, dried cranberries, or grilled chicken
Instructions
- Wash and slice the Honeycrisp apples into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skin on.
- Place apple slices in a large bowl and drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- In a separate bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, and honey, whisking until emulsified.
- Toss the arugula with the apples and pour the dressing over, mixing gently.
- Crumble feta cheese over the top and add any optional ingredients. Toss gently one last time.
- Serve immediately or keep apples and dressing separate if preparing in advance.
Notes
For best flavor, let the salad sit for a few minutes after mixing. Serve fresh, and avoid freezing.
