  • 5 oz fresh baby spinach

Instructions

Make salad dressing

  • Combine olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and honey in a mason jar. Whisk well with a fork for a minute or 2 until emulsified. Add more honey or mustard, to taste.

Assembly

  • Combine spinach, sliced apples, and crumbled feta cheese in a large serving bowl (or in 4 individual salad bowls).
