Spinach Apple Salad

Spinach Apple Salad is my go to salad recipe.  Dress it up or dress it down, either way it’s delicious!

Spinach Apple Salad is something everyone needs in their salad repertoire.  A good basic spinach salad you can change up depending on what is in your pantry.  When you know you need to add a salad to your dinner or you’re craving one for lunch this spinach salad will become your best friend. It is the salad I make over and over again.

My favorite part of the salad is the dressing.  Making your own salad dressing is so quick and easy and always more delicious than store bought. The salad dressing is a pretty pink color thanks to the red onion.  The onion also gives it amazing flavor.

Spinach Salad

Ingredients Needed

  • Fresh Baby Spinach
  • Granny Smith
  • Bacon
  • Slivered Almonds
  • Sugar
  • Oil
  • Salt
  • Cider Vinegar
  • Red Onion

Tips

  • Almonds, pecans, walnuts or any nut you prefer will work perfectly in this salad.
  • Substitute pears or berries for the apples to switch up the flavor.
  • Toast or candy your nuts for some extra flavor.
  • Add some leftover chicken to make this salad a main dish.

How to Make Spinach Apple Salad

  • Combine sugar, oil, salt, vinegar and red onion. I use canola oil but you could use any mild oil you like.
  • Allow dressing to sit for a bit before serving to allow the red onion flavor to infuse the dressing.
homemade salad dressing ingredients
  • Place spinach in a bowl. You can also add in other greens if you like.
  • Add sliced crumbled bacon, feta cheese and sliced apples.
  • Drizzle with dressing and toss to coat.
