How to Make Apple Feta Salad
- **Make the Candied Pecans:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Add 1/2 cup pecan halves, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, and a pinch of black pepper.
- Stir until pecans are well coated. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- **Prepare the Dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon honey, 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper to taste.
- **Assemble the Salad:** In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of chopped apples (Honeycrisp or Fuji recommended), 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (reserve some candied pecans for garnish), and 1/4 cup dried cranberries.
- **Just Before Serving:** Drizzle the dressing over the salad, add the cooled candied pecans, and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
