🍶 Make the Dressing:
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well emulsified. Set aside.

🥗 Assemble the Salad:
In a large salad bowl, combine baby spinach (washed and dried), red onion (thinly sliced), apple slices, dried fruit, and toasted nuts.

Use toasted pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds for a nut-free option.
