This is a great salad that I found in an old Curves book that I picked up at a garage sale. Not only is it Gluten-Free but it is also very good for you!
No one can deny how good spinach really is for you. It is packed with vitamins and minerals. Many of us remember having the green slop on our plates during dinner but nowadays there are much nicer ways of serving it. It is also hard to ignore how much healthier it is for you in its raw form. Vegetables lose a lot of their nutritional value when you cook them. The heating process breaks down the vitamins and minerals in the food and they are gone before they get to your plate.
The recipe is simple and very quick to make. A great last minute salad.
Vinaigrette:
2 1/2 Tbsp Orange Juice
1 Tbsp Wine Vinegar
1 1/2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
Combine all the ingredients in a shaker or jar and mix until well combined.
Salad:
2 cups fresh baby spinach
1/2 cup sliced baby mushrooms
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
Place the salad ingredients in a bowl. Mix with the vinaigrette and serve right away.
Try adding almonds, pecan, cranberries, raisins, bacon bits or any other topping you enjoy. There are endless ways to enjoy this salad.
