Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Baby spinach
- 2 medium Avocado
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds (optional)
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the baby spinach thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. Set aside in a large salad bowl.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and peel off the skins. Slice the avocado flesh into thin strips and gently toss them with a little lemon juice to prevent browning.
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into quarter-moon shapes.
Add the cherry tomatoes and red onion slices to the salad bowl along with the baby spinach.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chia seeds (if using) over the salad.
In a small bowl, prepare the lemon vinaigrette by whisking together lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad just before serving and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing Spinach and Avocado Salad!
