📖 Variations
The first time you try any new recipe we recommend that you make it just as it is written on the recipe card since that is how the recipe has been tested. However, the next time you make our recipe, you might want to try one of these ideas:
I like to use a spring mix of greens that includes red leaf lettuce, baby kale, peppery arugula, baby spinach, and romaine lettuce. You can use whatever greens you prefer.
This salad is perfect for a light lunch or as a side salad for a larger meal. To make this a heartier salad, add sliced chicken breast or leftover pulled chicken. It's also great with leftover breaded pork chops or steak bites.
Instead of walnuts, you can use crunchy pecans, slivered almonds, or even toasted pumpkin seeds. Sunflower seeds and golden raisins or dried cranberries are also a nice addition to this apple feta salad.
Of course, you can add other fruits and veggies to this salad like thinly sliced red onion, cucumbers, celery, jicama, or even avocado.
