INGREDIENTS

• 10 oz baby spinach

• 3 small gala apples thinly sliced

• 1 cup almond, toasted

• 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled

• 1/2 cup dried cranberries

• 1/2 small red onion

• 1/2 cup olive oil

• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

• 2 tsp dijon mustard

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS

If using red onion, place slices in a colander and run under warm water for about 10 seconds, tossing once, to remove harsh bite. Drain well.

In a large salad bowl toss together spinach, apples, pecans, feta, cranberries and optional bacon and red onion. Drizzle desired amount of dressing over salad and toss to evenly coat.

Serve immediately after adding dressing.For the dressing: Add all ingredients to a medium mason jar. Cover with lid and shake to blend well (or alternately just blend well in a bowl with a whisk).
