Ingredients
- 12 oz baby spinach
- 8 oz. mandarin oranges
- 1 cup English Walnuts See Recipe for Glazed English Walnuts
- 1 cup Pickled Beets See Recipe Here
- 1/2 cup Feta cheese
Balsamic Honey Dressing
- 4 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup Extra Virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Gather the ingredients so that you have everything close at hand on the counter or table.
- In a large bowl, layer 12 oz baby spinach, 8 oz. mandarin oranges, 1 cup English Walnuts, and 1 cup Pickled Beets. Gently toss to combine.
Alternately, you may add spinach to individual bowls and then strategically place the mandarin oranges, beets, and walnuts on the salad. Doing so, will help eliminate any damage to the oranges or spreading of the beet juice.
Make the Dressing
- In a small bowl, mix together 4 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoon honey, 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
- Slowly add 1/2 cup Extra Virgin olive oil and whisk until the dressing emulsifies. If desired, pour into a cruet bottle for serving.
- When ready to serve, drizzle vinegar dressing over salad. Sprinkle individual servings with 1/2 cup Feta cheese as desired. Serves 4-6
