8 cups baby spinach leaves, washed and de-stemmed

1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts

1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese

Directions

  1. 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.

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.
