Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 2 Hard-boiled eggs
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 Garlic clove (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 0.25 cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 cup Crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Instructions
Start by hard-boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a small pot, cover them with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 9-10 minutes.
After cooking, cool the eggs by transferring them into a bowl of ice water. Let them sit for 5 minutes before peeling and chopping them finely.
In a small bowl, prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well emulsified.
Add the finely chopped hard-boiled eggs to the vinaigrette and mix gently to combine. Set aside.
Wash and dry the spinach leaves thoroughly, and place them in a large salad bowl.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and crumbled feta cheese (if using) to the spinach leaves.
Drizzle the egg vinaigrette over the salad just before serving and toss gently to coat the greens evenly.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and freshness. Enjoy your Spinach Salad with Egg Vinaigrette!
