Winter Spinach Salad



Salad is a staple in my home but sometimes it gets a bit boring this time of year with a lack of fresh summer produce. I was hunkering to change it up a bit and got just what I was looking for with this recipe. I found it at a favorite site of mine Your Home Based Mom


Winter Spinach Salad


1 bunch baby spinach


1/2 C craisins


3 green onions, sliced


1 green apple, cored and thinly sliced


1/2 C pear chopped


1/4 C sugared walnuts


1/2 C crumbled feta cheese


Combine spinach, craisans, green onions, apple slices, pears and walnuts. Add dressing and toss. Garnish with feta cheese.


Maple Syrup Dressing


1/2 C olive oil


1/4 C cider vinegar


2 Tbsp shallots minced


2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice


2 Tbsp maple syrup


1/4 tsp salt


1/4 tsp pepper


Combine all ingredients in a jar and shake until evenly combined.

This one look good-- I LOVE feta cheese right now- I have a big tub of it from costco, and often eat it plain right out of the fridge! How is the maple dressing --I am worried that will taste weird. What was it like?
