Spinach and Grape Salad
Recipe List
Serves 4

Everything about this salad is simple-except for the flavor. It can be thrown together in a matter of minutes, but it looks and tastes very sophisticated. Although the recipe is high in fat, walnuts and olive oil are good sources of healthy fat that have been shown to help lower total cholesterol and triglycerides levels and protect against heart attacks and strokes.

Ingredients:

  • 1 bag Ready Pac Organic Florentine Blend, washed
  • 1 cup seedless red grapes, preferably organic, halved
  • 1/3 cup Flanigan Farms walnuts, halves and pieces, toasted
  • 1/3 cup Athenos reduced fat crumbled Feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Alessi White Balsamic Raspberry Blush Vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Napa Valley organic extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
      Instructions:
    1. In a salad bowl, combine the spinach blend, grapes, toasted walnuts and cheese.


    2. Measure the vinegar, oil, salt and pepper into a small bowl. Whisk them together and pour over the salad. Toss well and serve.
