Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Baby spinach
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 0.5 cup Crumbled feta cheese
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Raspberry vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Walnut oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Wash and dry the baby spinach thoroughly, and place it in a large salad bowl.
Slice the red onion thinly and scatter the slices over the spinach.
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Once toasted, set aside to cool.
Add the cooled walnuts, fresh raspberries, and crumbled feta cheese to the salad bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together raspberry vinegar, walnut oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until fully emulsified.
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
