Spring Salad with Feta and Apricots

May 30, 2014
by Cornelia Emlen

Serves: 6

A satisfying spring salad combining the sweetness of apricots with the tang of fresh mustard greens and the saltiness of feta. To make it a filling, one-dish meal, add hard boiled eggs or cooked meat or tofu and serve with a loaf of delicious, fresh bread. This could not be more simple!
