Cranberry Spinach Salad Recipe
This salad was deceptively simple, deliciously tasty, and a wonderful low-calorie lunch. The feta cheese is optional. I need protein with my salads to feel full and alert in the afternoon, but vegans can easily add walnuts to the salad for their protein and voila – done.
Ingredients
- Two cups of rinsed baby spinach leaves
- One slice of sweet onion, such as a Vidalia onion
- One tablespoon of dried organic, no sugar added cranberries
- One tablespoon of walnuts or low fat feta cheese
- One tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
- Two teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
Yum! This is a salad my mom made for me a few times when I visited her, and it’s so simple but has complex flavors. Love it!
Sounds good. I had never eaten spinach as a salad til I came to Canada.
