Notes
Recipe Adapted from: The Kitchn
- Use fresh ingredients, such as green baby spinach and crispy tart apples.
- Toast the pecans before adding them to the salad will enhance a nutty flavor and give them a nice crunch.
- Choose a good-quality feta cheese that is creamy, tangy, and crumbly. This will add a deep creaminess and saltiness to the salad.
- Toss the salad with the dressing right before serving to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
