Description
One of the best ways to spruce up your salad is by adding fresh fruit. It not only brightens up your salad and makes it appealing to the eye, it also adds the perfect level of sweetness that’s often missing from your lettuce mix, while boosting your fiber and overall nutrient intake. As an added bonus: naturally sweet fruit that everyone loves will help to get your family on board, which makes mealtime much less stressful.
Ingredients
- 1 handful spinach (or leafy green of choice)
- 2 tablespoons fruit
- 2 teaspoons block cheese
- 1 tablespoon nuts or seeds
Dressing: Check out your local olive oil and vinegar taproom
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Depending on your mood and what the main dish is, mix and match the fruit, nuts and cheese listed above for your salad.
- Clean, deseed and peel (if necessary) the fruit of your choice. Using a serrated knife, cut the fruit into small slices.
- In a salad dish, add spinach, sliced fruit and a small handful of nuts (about a tablespoon). Top with two teaspoons of cheese and drizzle lightly with balsamic vinegar and EVOO.
- Serve and enjoy!
