Categories     Spinach

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups baby spinach leaves
1/3 cup fresh blackberries
2 thin slices red onions, separated into rings
1 ounce feta cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons slivered almonds
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tablespoon whole grain Dijon mustard
1/2 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Combine all dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together with a fork.
  • Arrange spinach leaves on your plate. Top with remaining salad ingredients.
  • Drizzle with dressing.
  • Note: To lessen the pungent strength of the red onions, run under hot water for about 30 seconds or so.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe blackberries. This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your salad.
  • Choose a spinach that is young and tender. This will make the salad more palatable and less bitter.
  • To make the dressing, use a good quality balsamic vinegar. This will add a rich, complex flavor to the salad.
  • Roast the pecans or walnuts in a single layer in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Serve the salad immediately after assembling. This will prevent the spinach from wilting.

Conclusion:

This blackberry spinach salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer meal. The combination of sweet blackberries, tangy balsamic vinegar, and crunchy pecans or walnuts is sure to please everyone at your table. This salad is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy choice for you and your family.
