How to Make Feta Cheese Apple And Spiced Pecan Salad
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- **Spice up the Pecans:** In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper, and a dash of your favorite hot sauce (about 1/4 teaspoon).
- Add 1 cup pecan halves to the bowl, stirring until evenly coated.
- Spread pecans in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet on a wire rack.
- **Assemble the Salad:** In a large bowl, combine 5 oz mixed lettuces (e.g., spring mix, romaine), 1 medium apple (cored and thinly sliced), 4 oz crumbled feta cheese, and the cooled spiced pecans.
- **Whisk up the Dressing:** In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Secure the lid and shake vigorously until well combined.
- Pour dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
