Number Of Ingredients 6

1 oz walnuts, finely chopped
4 oz honey chevre cheese (available at Trader Joe's)
1/3 cup Champagne-Pear Vinaigrette (available at Trader Joe's)
1 package baby spinach

Tips:

  • To save time, you can buy pre-sliced almonds or walnuts.
  • If you don't have a citrus juicer, you can use a lemon or lime wedge to squeeze the juice.
  • For a sweeter salad, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the dressing.
