Ingredients

2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons minced shallot
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 cups baby spinach leaves, washed and de-stemmed
1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts
1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese

Directions

Combine the vinegar, shallot, salt and pepper in a small bowl and mix until the salt dissolves. Drizzle in the oil as you stir, mixing until the vinegar and oil come together in a smooth creamy dressing.

Place all but a large handful of the spinach in a large bowl. Toss with most of the dressing. Add remaining spinach and continue tossing until well coated. Add walnuts and cheese, and toss with the reserved dressing until well blended. Serve immediately.

Like an earlier reviewer, I also added strawberries (for both color and an extra punch of sweetness - but I'm sure it would be great without them too. The salad was super-easy to make and delicious! I took it to a picnic, so the 4 servings really made 8+ since everyone took smaller serving sizes. I would also suggest to definitely use the shallots if you have the available. This was my first time using them in a recipe and they're really good! It's a milder flavor than green onions would be and also has a little bit of the sweetness that garlic brings, but without the bite.

I'm not a walnut fan so I added pecans instead. The dressing is light and the goat cheese really makes this salad delicious.
