Start by rinsing your fresh baby spinach under cold water to remove any dirt. Drain well and use a salad spinner to ensure it’s thoroughly dry.

Core the apples and cut them into bite-sized cubes, keeping the skin on for added nutrients and color.

In the bowl with the spinach, gently combine the chopped apples, dried cranberries, and pecans. Toss everything together.

Crumble feta cheese over the top of the salad mixture.

Just before serving, drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette evenly over the salad.

Use tongs or a large spoon to toss the salad gently, ensuring that the dressing coats all ingredients without wilting the spinach.
