Spinach Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing

 

 

Ingredients:

 

~ 6 oz of spinach (I use organic baby spinach leaves)

1 organic apple, cored and diced (don't peel)

1/4 cup chopped walnut pieces

fresh organic lemon

 

poppy seed dressing (below)

 

Place spinach in a medium large bowl - fill bowl 2/3 to 3/4 full.  Add apple chunks and squeeze lemon over apple pieces.  Sprinkle walnut pieces over surface and gently toss.  Make dressing and pour over salad mixture.  Toss again until thoroughly coated with dressing.  Do not add dressing until right before serving.

 

Poppy Seed Dressing:

 

1 Tbl. raw apple cider vinegar (I use Braggs)

2 Tbl. good quality organic extra virgin olive oil (I like Montebello)

1 Tbl. raw, unfiltered pure honey

1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard

1 tsp. poppy seeds

1/4 tsp. sea salt
