Prep the Cranberries: Rinse the fresh cranberries thoroughly and pat them dry. You can leave them whole or halve them, depending on your texture preference.
Toast the Walnuts: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the chopped walnuts and toast them for about 5 minutes, or until they become golden and fragrant. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Mix the Greens: In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens. This can be a combination of baby spinach, arugula, or any of your personal favorites.
Combine Main Ingredients: Add the thinly sliced red onion, apple slices, toasted walnuts, fresh cranberries, and dried cranberries to the salad bowl.
Add Feta: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the salad. This adds a creamy, tangy flavor that pairs wonderfully with the sweet and tart cranberries.
Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine everything evenly.
Serve: Once everything is well-mixed, your salad is ready to serve. Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy!
