In a small bowl or jar, whisk together all dressing ingredients until smooth and emulsified.

In a large salad bowl, combine spinach, apple slices, feta, pistachios, and red onion (if using).

Drizzle with dressing and toss gently to coat just before serving.

Serve immediately for best texture.

Add grilled chicken or salmon to turn this into a main dish.

Swap feta for goat cheese or blue cheese for variation.

Can be made ahead—keep dressing separate until ready to serve.
