Mixed Greens with Apples and Cranberries

Mixed Greens with Apples and Cranberries

Thanksgiving Cranberrysalad-1
This is one of those great, last minute dishes. With all the rotating dishes in the oven, it is nice to toss a quick salad together that doesn't need its turn to bake.

Ingredients

5 oz package of mixed greens
1 large Honeycrisp apple
2/3 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
Lemon juice
1/3 cup walnuts, optional
Balsamic vinaigrette
homemade or store bought

Directions

Thanksgiving Salad Sliceapples
Put the mixed greens in a large serving bowl. Sprinkle cranberries on top. Set aside. Cut the apple in half from stem to bottom. Slice each half into thin, half-moon slices. Arrange the apples on top of salad. I like to fan each half out.

Thanksgiving Salad Apples
Using a silicone basting brush, lightly brush the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning. Sprinkle feta and walnuts on top. Serve, passing the dressing separately.
