Why This Recipe Is So Enjoyable

This salad is fresh, flavorful, and packed with nutrients. It combines tender spinach with savory ingredients that create a perfect balance. It’s a great way to enjoy a healthy meal without sacrificing taste.

Smart Cooking Tips

- Use baby spinach for a tender texture and mild flavor.
- Toss the salad gently to avoid bruising the leaves.
- Add ingredients just before serving to keep everything crisp and fresh.

Directions

Tos the spinach, carrots, croutons, green onions, black olives, feta cheese, black beans, and pine nuts together in a big bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined. Pour the dressing over the salad and give it a good stir so all the ingredients get coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning if you need to, then serve and enjoy!

Serving Ideas For Every Meal

Serve this salad as a light lunch or a side dish alongside grilled chicken or fish. It also pairs well with crusty bread or a warm grain bowl to make a complete meal.

Refrigeration Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Keep the dressing separate until ready to eat to prevent the spinach from wilting. Consume within 1-2 days for best freshness.
