And by all means, serve it as a starter rather than a follow-up on the main course. It is fresh, sharp, vegan and delicious.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh apples, mint, and spinach will give your salad the best flavor and texture.
  • Choose the right apples: Sweet apples like Honeycrisp or Gala work best in this salad.
  • Thinly slice the apples: This will help them absorb the dressing and soften slightly.
  • Chop the mint finely: This will help to distribute its flavor throughout the salad.
  • Use a light dressing: A simple vinaigrette or lemon-tahini dressing will allow the flavors of the apples, mint, and spinach to shine through.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh, as the apples and spinach will start to wilt if they sit for too long.

This apple, mint, and spinach salad is a refreshing and healthy side dish or light lunch.
