Effortless Spinach Salad



SALAD:
8 ounces fresh spinach
½ cup feta or goat cheese, crumbled
¼ small red onion, thinly sliced
½ cup dried cranberries
2 tablespoons toasted sliced almonds, optional

DRESSING:
½ cup bottled balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon orange zest, optional

Wash and clean spinach. Tear into bite-size pieces and place in a serving bowl. Add half of the feta or goat cheese and onion; toss to combine. Combine dressing ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Pour over salad and toss to coat. 

Adding orange juice to balsamic is pretty genius - it tastes wonderful.


Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Top with dried cranberries and almonds. Serve immediately.

With some nice grilled chicken, if you want!


My Rating: 4/5 "This is a damn good salad. There's lots of variety in texture and the dressing unifies everything really well. Also - I'd suggest going with goat cheese. Because goat cheese is never not a win."
