When I started to make this salad, which I’ve loved for years, I realized something. I am always concocting up new recipes and sometimes forget to make my tried and true staple recipes that I’ve been making for years to share with you all here on the Blog. This is a seasonal salad for me that I only tend to make In the Fall season.....AND I LOVE IT!! And you truly could eat this all year round.

Salads like these are my absolute favorite kind. Lots of fruit, nuts, cheese and a yummy dressing. YUMMMMM!
ReplyDeleteYum!! I like trying new salads :) Have you ever tried goat cheese with it? I've had a sad with apples before and they had goat cheese on it and it was good!!

Lovely fall salad. I don't know why but once it gets cold I struggle with wanting to make a dang salad.
ReplyDeleteI could eat this year round! Your dressing sounds delicious! I'm definitely making this!

ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! The combo of feta, apples, and the different nuts is right up my taste alley. :)

This is so up my alley - I actually am wanting to make a salad like this to take to my brothers for Thanksgiving :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good! If I'm going to enjoy a salad it's going to be spinach for me. Yesss, honey crisp are so good! I can't wait to enjoy some feta again :) Sierra Beautifully Candid
ReplyDeleteThis looks so delicious and yes it seems seasonal, but would be delicious anytime of year. I like the ratio of apple to spinach...looks like a lot of apple. YUM! Thanks for sharing an oldie but goodie. XOXO
ReplyDeleteSuch a good salad! I love it! xo
ReplyDeleteYummy!!! I need to make this salad and bring it with me to lunch! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis salad is right up my alley! I love making my own dressing. I am the same, I need to get back to my old staples!
ReplyDeleteSounds good! I'll be trying this soon.
ReplyDeleteI love a good salad with apples on it! And I eat an apple every single day so this would be a great way to change it up instead of eating it plain.
ReplyDeleteI make almost the exact same thing regularly! I use raisins instead make a different dressing (honey, mustard, vinegar, and oil). A lot of times I will make chicken in the crock pot or buy a rotisserie one and make it a giant dinner salad. So good!!

This is totally right up my alley and I'm going to make it asap! :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes that dressing does sound like the star! Honey Crisps are my favorite too but I've been liking Envy a lot lately as well. This is the perfect fall salad. Yes please!!
ReplyDeleteYummy. I love the idea of this salad. I make one very similar but want to try yours out.
ReplyDeleteI just pinned this to try later...Question. Do you toss with the dressing then server or pour the dressing over right before you eat it?
ReplyDeleteLisa
This sounds so incredibly delicious! I'm a huge fan of salads with apples and cheese, but the dressing sounds especially delicious!
ReplyDeleteOh yum!! This looks so delicious, especially that dressing! I love making my own dressing when I get the chance. It's just so much tastier!
ReplyDeleteYUM! I love salads and I can’t wait to try this one.
ReplyDeleteThis salad looks so flavorful! Great recipe.
ReplyDeleteAndrea I've never tried this combination before but I know one thing for sure the addition of feta makes everything better! Pinning to try this!!
