Apple Feta Salad

Typically, I don't think fruit has any business in a savory salad,
but this apple feta salad tastes great.
How can you go wrong with feta in a salad?!
It's my all-time favorite cheese.

This delicious salad recipe came from Terry, our friend who runs a Christmas Tree farm in the Santa Cruz mountains with her family.

2 T. butter
1 cup walnut halves
1 T. sugar
1/8 tsp. pepper
5 cups torn romaine
5 cups torn red leaf lettuce
1 medium red apple, chopped
1 medium green apple, chopped
1/2 to 1 cup crumbled feta cheese

Dressing:
6 T. olive oil
2 T. white wine vinegar
2 T. finely chopped onion
1 1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. dried parsley flakes
1/8 tsp. pepper

1. In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the walnuts; sprinkle with sugar & pepper. Stir until well coated.
2. Spread onto baking sheet; Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring every 5 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
3. In a large bowl, combine romaine, red lettuce, apples and feta cheese; set aside.
4. In a blender, combine the dressing ingredients; cover and process until blended.
5. Drizzle over salad; toss to coat. Sprinkle with sugared walnuts.
