Another Simple Salad that's mighty tasty! Quantities for the dressing ingredients are entirely made up here and may be off. Basically, it's a little more olive oil than balsamic vinegar and the rest can be adjusted to taste.
Ingredients
Salad
- spinach (1/2 - 1 bunch)
- orange (1 large navel or a few clementines)
- toasted almonds (I would use slivered if I had, but whole ones cut into chunks work too).
Dressing
- ~ 1-2 tbs balsamic vinegar
- ~ 2-3 tbs olive oil
- 1/4 tsp of sesame oil (a few drops for flavouring)
- 1/4 tsp maple syrup or sugar (just a little sweetening is nice)
- salt
- pepper
Method
- chop and toast the almonds in a dry frying pan - don't burn! set aside to cool.
- wash the spinach and cut or tear into desired-size pieces - place in a large bowl
- peel and divide the orange(s) into skafies and cut into bite-sized pieces (or if you prefer, cut off peels and slice into pieces instead). add to the spinach.
- mix dressing ingredients together and shake well
- toss the spinach and orange with the dressing then top with the toasted nuts
