Ingredients
To create this delightful Raspberry Spinach Salad, you’ll need a handful of fresh ingredients. Each component plays an essential role in making this salad a culinary delight:
- 6 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette dressing
- Salt and pepper to taste
If you’re unable to find fresh raspberries, you can substitute with strawberries or blackberries. For a nut-free version, consider using sunflower seeds instead of almonds.
Instructions
Creating this salad is as easy as pie, and I promise it will bring a splash of color and flavor to your table:
- Start by washing and drying the baby spinach leaves. Place them in a large salad bowl.
- Add the fresh raspberries, crumbled feta cheese, and toasted almonds on top of the spinach.
- Thinly slice the red onion and scatter it over the salad.
- Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette dressing over the salad. Toss gently to combine, ensuring every ingredient is lightly coated.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness of the ingredients.
As you prepare this salad, embrace the art of tasting and adjusting. Just like my abuela taught me, sometimes the best recipes are those that evolve with a bit of intuition.
