Ingredients

  • 150 g Fresh Spinach
  • 150 g Blueberries
  • 60 g Goat Cheese
  • 30 g Walnuts
  • 0.25 medium Red Onion
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar

  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 pinch Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. 1
    Wash and dry the spinach and blueberries thoroughly.
  2. 2
    Thinly slice the red onion. If the onion flavor is too strong, you can soak the slices in cold water for 5 minutes and then drain.
  3. 3
    Roughly chop the walnuts. For extra flavor, you can briefly toast them in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant, then let cool.
  4. 4
    In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
  5. 5
    In a large serving bowl, combine the spinach, blueberries, red onion, and walnuts.
  6. 6
    Crumble the goat cheese over the top.
  7. 7
    Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving and toss gently to coat.

Chef's Tips

  • Add grilled chicken or boiled eggs to turn this into a high-protein main course.
  • If you don't have walnuts, pecans or sunflower seeds work great as a substitute.
  • Dress the salad immediately before eating to prevent the spinach from wilting.
