Wash and dry the mixed greens thoroughly, then place them in a large salad bowl.
Rinse the strawberries and blueberries under cold water. Slice the strawberries and add them to the bowl along with the blueberries.
Core the apple and slice it thinly. Add the apple slices to the salad bowl.
Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Let them cool, then add them to the salad.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad just before serving, then toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant, flavorful salad!
