1. In a small bowl or mason jar, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and honey until well blended. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding a bit more honey.

2. For an extra burst of flavor, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until fragrant. This step is optional but highly recommended.

3. In a large salad bowl, arrange the mixed greens as the foundation for your autumn masterpiece.

4. Scatter the thinly sliced Honeycrisp apples, crumbled feta cheese, chopped walnuts, and dried cranberries over the greens, creating a vibrant and visually appealing arrangement.

5. Pour the dressing over the salad and, using salad tongs, gently toss the ingredients from the bottom, lifting and turning carefully to avoid mashing the apple slices or breaking up the feta too much.

6. Serve the Autumn Harvest Honeycrisp Apple and Feta Salad immediately, allowing your guests to savor the freshness and balance of flavors.
