Apple, Pomegranate Seed, and Feta Salad with a Balsamic Glaze
A simple go to salad that I make for almost every hosting occasion! Great versatility to add additional items, change up the nuts or cheese, and enjoy beautiful colors!
Equipment
- Kitchen knife
- Large serving plate or bowl
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 2 large Handfuls Mixed Greens
- 1/2 large Apple Red works best
- 1/4 cup Pecan halves
- 4 tbsp Crumbed Feta Cheese
- 1/4 cup Pomegranate Seeds
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 tsp Reduced Balsamic Vinegar
- Coarse Sea Salt to taste
- 1/2 small Lemon
Instructions
- In skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil. Add the pecans and coat thoroughly, toasting until fragrant. Set aside on a paper towel.
- Slice the apple in fine slices, making at least 6 pieces. Squeezing the lemon onto a small plate or dish, dip the apple slices into the juice and set aside.
- On the serving dish, lay the mixed greens. Arrange the apple slices into clusters of three at various points on the salad. Sprinkle on the pomegranate seeds and feta cheese.
- Drizzle the salad with olive oil, the balsamic vinegar and sea salt. Pour/squeeze any remaining lemon juice over the salad as well.
- Spread the toasted pecans on top and serve. Enjoy! For a heartier meal, this goes very well with sliced chicken!
