Toss the Salad

  2. Layer the sliced apples on top of the greens and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped walnuts over the salad.
  3. Give the salad one last gentle toss to combine all the flavors, making sure not to crush the feta or apples.
Serve

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Add dressing just before serving to prevent greens from wilting. This salad is not suited for reheating.
