| APPLE WALNUT SPINACH SALAD WITH BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE |
I love putting a seasonal spin on my favorite salad, which allows me to enjoy local ingredients within the season and still get all my veggies on! This Apple Walnut spinach salad with balsamic sauce is really the winter version of my favorite "Berry Walnut spinach Salad" That I made a minimum of every week in summer.
I've exchanged fruit for a delicious apple, added 2 of my favorite cheeses – bleu and chevre , because i could not decide one! -and choose a scrumptious balsamic vinaigrette sauce to simply top it all off!
Of course, if you are not a lover of bleu or chevre , be happy to skip the cheese in the least or choose the one you wish the foremost . I'm a fan of second and therefore the bleu is tangy paired with chevre butter on this Apple Walnut spinach salad with balsamic sauce, but the sweetness of the salad is you'll make them however you please! Just do not forget those that are healthy green!!
INGREDIENTS:
For the salad:
- 6 cups fresh baby spinach
