• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

5 ounces fresh spinach or spring greens mix

2 small apples (cored and thinly sliced)

¼ of a red onion (thinly sliced, about ½ cup)

1/2 cup pecan halves (toasted)

⅔ cup feta crumbles

½ cup dried cranberries

2 Tablespoons vegetable oil

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

2 Tablespoon maple syrup

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

a generous pinch of salt and black pepper

Directions

Optional: Let the red onion soak in an ice water bath for 10 minutes, then squeeze dry with paper towels. This will mellow out the sometimes harsh flavor of red onions.

1. In a large serving bowl add the spinach, thinly sliced apples, red onion, toasted pecans, feta cheese and cranberries.

2. To a mason jar with a tight fitting lid, add the vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Shake well to combine.

3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
