Spinach is an excellent source of Vitamin C, a potent antioxidant that boost and repairs the immune system.
I love my spinach–I love it in my smoothies and in my juices.
But I still like my spinach salads.
I like to keep my salads super simple, but full of flavor and color.
Simple Spinach Salad
Makes 2 Servings
4 cups spinach
1 cup thinly sliced red cabbage
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1 avocado, chopped
Add all the ingredients to a large salad bowl.
Top with Lemon Basil Vinaigrette.
1/3 cup Extra virgin Olive oil
2 to 3 lemons, juiced
1 teaspoon raw apple cider vinegar
1 large garlic clove
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Place all the ingredients in a small jar and shake vigorously.
Shake again before adding to a salad.
This dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
(I always make double the amount and freeze half.)
This dressing is delicious on quinoa salads, too.
