Apple Spinach Salad
Ingredients
- 3-4 handfuls of fresh baby spinach
- 1 apple chopped (I like both Sweet Tango and Granny Smith in this)
- 1/2 cup soaked and roasted cashews chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 1 cube frozen minced garlic
Instructions
- Toss the spinach together in a bowl with the apple and cashews. Drizzle with dressing and toss.
- If dairy isn't an issue, one could toss in cubes raw cheddar cheese.
Notes
The dressing is adapted from Nourishing Meals and makes one large salad, enough for two people. You could double and store the rest in the fridge for up to three days, but it never lasts that long around here.
To keep fresh lemon juice on hand, I purchase a glass bottle of fresh lemon juice, pour it into ice cube trays and freeze. Once frozen, pop them into a freezer Ziploc and store for use in juices, smoothies, fruit snacks or dressing. I also keep Dorot brand frozen cubes of garlic on hand for when I'm out of a fresh head.
