Instructions
- Salad – To a large bowl add all ingredients in the order listed; set aside.
- Honey-Apple Cider Vinaigrette – To a small glass jar or container with a lid, add all ingredients, put the lid on and shake vigorously until combined; taste vinaigrette and tweak as necessary to taste.
- Assembly - Drizzle about half the dressing over salad, toss to combine, and see if you prefer it moister and add more, to taste. Serve salad immediately or place into an airtight container, refrigerate, and serve chilled. The spinach wilts as time passes but the dried fruit softens and the flavors marry and I enjoy this salad for up to 3 days after preparing.
Notes
- Storage: If you don’t use all the vinaigrette, extra will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 1 week. Leftover salad will last up to 3 days.
