Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 to 5 cups loosely packed spinach or spring mix salad blend
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced (separated)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Sea salt to taste
- ¼ cup onion, chopped
- 4 apples, sliced
- ½ cup toasted pumpkin seeds
- Optional: ½ cup crumbled goat cheese
Instructions
Wash the greens and place in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk the garlic into the lemon juice. Stir in the sea salt and lemon zest. Whisk in the olive oil until it’s emulsified into a vinaigrette.
Pour half the dressing over the spinach and toss well.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and add in the onion, cooking until translucent and slightly caramelized, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add in the apples, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Toss in the pumpkin seeds to warm.
Add the onion-apple-pumpkin seed mixture to the spinach. Add the rest of the vinaigrette and more salt if desired. If using, sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese over the top. Serve and enjoy!
