Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Baby spinach
- 2 large Avocado
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 medium Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese (optional)
- 0.25 cup Toasted almonds (optional)
Instructions
Wash the baby spinach thoroughly and pat it dry using a clean kitchen towel or salad spinner. Place it into a large salad bowl.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado into thin wedges and add them to the bowl with the spinach.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion. Add these to the salad bowl as well.
In a small jar or bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Whisk or shake until the dressing is well combined and emulsified.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat the ingredients evenly without mashing the avocado slices.
If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and toasted almonds over the top for added texture and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh Spinach Avocado Salad!
