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 tsp Brown Sugar
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Black Pepper

Instructions

1
Wash and dry the spinach and blueberries thoroughly.
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
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
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
5
In a large serving bowl, combine the spinach, blueberries, red onion, and walnuts.
6
Crumble the goat cheese over the top.
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.
