  3. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the candied walnuts or pecans until fragrant and golden, about 3-5 minutes. Allow cooling.
  4. In a bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to create the vinaigrette.
  5. Layer the sliced apples, crumbled feta, toasted nuts, and dried cranberries over the greens.
  6. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad just before serving, then toss gently to coat.
