Instructions

In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, sliced Honeycrisp apple, red onion, and dried cranberries.
Sprinkle crumbled feta, toasted pecans, and pumpkin seeds (if using) over the top.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
Drizzle dressing over the salad and toss gently until evenly coated.
Top with pomegranate seeds and thyme leaves for garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately as a side dish or light main meal.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Keep dressing separate until serving to prevent sogginess. Add grilled chicken, chickpeas, or roasted sweet potatoes for a heartier version. Store leftovers separately and enjoy within one day.
