Instructions

Make salad dressing

Combine olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and honey in a mason jar. Whisk well with a fork for a minute or 2 until emulsified. Add more honey or mustard, to taste.

Assembly

Combine spinach, sliced apples, and crumbled feta cheese in a large serving bowl (or in 4 individual salad bowls).
Add salad dressing and toss to combine. Top with pistachios.

Notes

I used salted pistachios with no shells (you can buy those in most grocery stores).
You can use feta, goat cheese, or gorgonzola.
