• 6 cups spring mix salad
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup pecan halves
• 1/2 cup feta cheese
• 2 cups semi-tart apples

Ingredients for Maple Dijon Vinaigrette

• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 Tablespoon dijon mustard

Start cooking the bacon until crispy. While bacon is cooking, core the apple cut into small cubes.

Dress the salad and toss.
