SPINACH SALAD WITH CHEESE, WALNUTS AND RAISINS

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

1 bag (6 oz / 170 g) baby spinach (if leaves are too big, chop them coarsely), washed and dried
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese or any other white cheese, crumbled
1/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1/3 cup golden raisins

For the Dressing
2 tablespoons olive oil
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon balsamic or apple cider vinegar (optional, but I love it in my salad)

1. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil with the lemon juice and vinegar if using.

2. Add the spinach, cheese, walnuts and raisins and toss thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (If you are using feta cheese, you don’t have to add salt to the salad since feta cheese is salty enough). Serve right away. Enjoy!
