Provided by PaulaG

Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 cups spinach, washed and cleaned
1/3 cup dried cranberries
3 green onions, sliced thin
1 green apple, cored and sliced thin
1/2 cup red seedless grapes, cut in half
1/3 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely minced or 1/4 teaspoon garlic oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

  • Combine spinach, cranberries, green onion, sliced apple, grapes and walnuts in a large salad bowl.
  • Whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.
  • Pour the vinaigrette over salad, sprinkle with Feta cheese and arrange on chilled salad plates.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better your salad will taste. If possible, buy your fruits and vegetables from a local farmer's market or organic grocery store.
  • Choose a variety of fruits and vegetables. This will give your salad a more interesting flavor and texture. Some good options include berries, citrus fruits, apples, pears, avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, and spinach.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to making a fruit and feta spinach salad. Feel free to add or omit ingredients to suit your own taste.
  • Make sure to dress your salad lightly. A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing can overwhelm the other flavors in the salad.
  • Serve your salad immediately. Fruit and feta spinach salad is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Conclusion:

Fruit and feta spinach salad is a delicious, healthy, and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy salad recipe, give this one a try.
