My Favorite Spinach salad

I was really hating salads for a while there, until I "discovered" baby spinach. It's got tons of vitamins, but doesn't taste as bitter as some of the other dark leaf lettuces. So when we eat salads these days, the lettuce is almost always baby spinach. Try my Favorite Spinach Salad, or just add your own toppings and post what combos you love!

Ingredients:
  • 1 bag pre-washed baby spinach
  • 1 crisp apple, cored & chopped (but I leave the skin on)
  • 1/2 to 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 to 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • raspberry vinegarette
Directions:
This is pretty easy - it's a salad! Place the spinach on individual plates or bowls. Top with the apple, feta and walnuts. Add dressing sparingly.
My tip for the apples - use a peeler/corer/slicer without peeling, and then just cut the spiral apple in wedges for the right sized chunks. Toss with lemon juice if you're not serving right away, this will keep the apples from browning so quickly.
