There are times when I just want to eat a huge healthy salad for lunch. Especially when the weather is on the warmer side, as it has been lately.
I recently foraged in our fridge and ended up empty so I decided to go on an adventure to our local market and pick some up my favorite organic ingredients to make a salad. As one would expect I got carried away because I went on an empty stomach. After buying way more then I had planned, I did manage to successfully gather the perfect ingredients for this incredibly healthy Summer Superfood Spinach Salad. This summer dish has become my go-to salad this week and besides being easy to make it’s also super healthy with all of the amazing superfood ingredients.
There’s so much flavor and crunch packed into this bowl of summery greens. It includes baby spinach, cabbage, berries, granola, and nuts. The granola and nut blend is just granola, pumpkin seeds and almond slivers. Easy peazy. It’s sweet, savory, crunchy, and oh so good for you. The dressing I use for this salad has a nice blend of sweet & spicy. I added cayenne, turmeric, fresh lemon juice, spanish olive oil and a generous dollop of honey, and of course the star, Apple Cider Vinegrette.
