Notes

For the best presentation, make the salad right before serving to prevent apple slices from browning. Add a splash of lemon juice on the apple slices to keep them vibrant. It’s versatile; consider adding roasted butternut squash or crispy bacon, or substitute feta with avocado for a vegan option.
