Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 cups baby spinach
- 1.5 cups strawberries
- 1 navel orange
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 0.5 cup feta cheese
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the baby spinach thoroughly, then place it in a large salad bowl.
Hull and slice the strawberries into thin pieces. Add them to the bowl with the spinach.
Peel the navel orange and separate it into segments. Slice each segment in half and add to the salad.
Thinly slice the red onion and add 1/4 cup to the salad for a subtle but balanced tang.
Crumble the feta cheese and sprinkle it evenly over the salad.
Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Once fragrant and golden, let them cool and add to the salad.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, orange juice, honey, white wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh and flavorful salad!
