This one can be served as a meal or as a side. If you are eating it as a meal, be sure to include a protein (cheese, nuts, etc.). I personally enjoy it with feta or goat cheese.
Ingredients
For the salad:
- 2 cups fresh spinach (you can replace or add some mixed greens - argula, baby romaine, etc.)
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
- a handful of cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 cup juliennes carrots
For the vinaigrette (makes more than a serving):
- 2-3 tablespoons of extra virigin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
- 1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
- freshly ground pepper
Preparation
- Toss the spinach, mushroom, tomatoes and carrots in a bowl.
- Top with vinaigrette and mix well.
For the vinaigrette:
Whisk all the ingredients in a bowl or place them in a jar and shake until well blended. Taste, and season as necessary. It can be stored in the refrigerator for a week. The olive oil will likely cause it to harden, but it will melt at room temperature.
