Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh baby spinach, rinsed and dried
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries, washed
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/4 cup toasted almonds
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

Dressing Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Rinse the baby spinach thoroughly and gently pat dry to avoid sogginess. Carefully wash the raspberries to keep them intact. Thinly slice the red onion to balance its sharpness with the sweetness of the berries.
  2. Toast the Almonds: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and toast the almonds for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  3. Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly thickened. Adjust the sweetness or acidity according to your preference.
  4. Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, gently toss the spinach, raspberries, and red onion. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss again carefully so as not to crush the raspberries. Finally, sprinkle the toasted almonds and crumbled feta cheese over the top as the finishing touch.

Notes

  • Use fresh produce to maximize flavor and texture.
  • Dry spinach well to avoid soggy salad.
  • Add dressing just before serving to keep greens crisp.
  • Toast nuts evenly by stirring continuously to ensure optimal crunch without burning.
  • Taste the dressing before adding to balance sweetness, acidity, and saltiness.
