Ingredients

For the salad:

6 cups (240 g) mixed salad leaves with spinach
1/3 cup (40 g) dried cranberries
1/3 cup (39 g) walnuts chopped
1/3 cup (50 g) feta cheese crumbled
1 red apple cored, sliced, and chopped
4 slices bacon cooked and chopped

For the dressing:

2 tablespoons (30 ml) maple syrup or maple syrup sugar-free substitute
1 tablespoon (15 ml) Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons (30 ml) apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon (3 g) salt
1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup (79 ml) olive oil

Instructions

Add all of the salad ingredients to a large salad bowl.
Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk constantly while pouring in the olive oil, until emulsified.
Right before serving, pour the dressing over the salad and toss with spoons.

Notes

To keep the salad fresh and prevent wilting, dress it just before serving.
If you plan to make it ahead, store the dressing separately and toss it with the salad just before serving.
If you prefer a thinner dressing, add a bit more olive oil. For a thicker consistency, reduce the amount of olive oil slightly.
To preserve the nutrients in spinach, opt for fresh leaves and store them in the refrigerator until ready to use.
