Apple, Pecan and Feta Salad



Walking past the deli counter at our local Wegman's store I spied a yummy looking salad. I thought, "I can do that" and set about creating my own version.

For the salad:
8 oz Mixed salad greens (spring mix)
4 oz pecans
1 large or 2 small tart apples.
4 oz feta cheese

For the dressing:
1 tbl dried parsley
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup apple juice
1/2 tsp dried basil
1 teaspoon honey
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions: Toast the pecans in the oven (10-15 minutes at 350) or in a pan on the range. Allow to cool. Make dressing by combining all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until well blended. Wash the salad greens and place in a bowl large enough to hold the salad. Core and slice the apples into thin wedges. (I dipped mine in a solution of lemon juice and water to prevent them from turning brown) Crumble or dice the feta cheese into small pieces. Add apple slices, pecans and feta to the greens. Add dressing to salad and toss to coat everything well. Serve.
