Add all of the homemade vinaigrette ingredients to a small mason jar. Place the lid on tightly and shake together in the jar to combine well. Set aside.
Wash both apples thoroughly. Slice according to desired thickness.
Add 2 handfuls or mixed greens to a bowl. Top greens with sliced apples, dried cranberries and chopped nuts.
Shake vinaigrette together again, in case oil and vinegar has separated, and pour over salad.
Refrigerate any leftover dressing in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Try to buy organic apples whenever possible.

Also, feel free to add a little feta or goat cheese if you like or grilled chicken to make it a meal.
