I got this salad recipe from
www.bake-aholic.com
I absolutely love spinach salads but most require a lot of ingredients I dont normally have lying around my house. I also LOVE a sweet vinaigrette but unfortunately most of them are loaded with SUGAR.
I love this dressing recipe because the red onion gives a subtle sweetness to it and it makes it an awesome pink color!
I made this salad a few weeks ago for dinner and paired it with a Turkey Bacon Avocado Panini.

Spinach Salad:
Ingredients:
- 10 oz. spinach
- 1 granny smith apple, thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup toasted almonds (350 degrees for 8 minutes)
- 1/2 lb crisp bacon (I prefer turkey bacon)
- red onion slices (optional)
Sweet Onion Vinaigrette:
- 1/8 of a red onion
- 1/3 cup EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
- 3 T. sugar (I use xylitol)
- 3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp salt
Puree dressing ingredients in a blender. Toss salad.
Kims Notes:
Buy organic spinach at Costco or Trader Joes since SPINACH is #5 on the DIRTY DOZEN list of pesticide residue.
Using XYLITOL instead of regular TABLE SUGAR is a GREAT idea for many reason: It is JUST AS sweet as sugar, it has a glycemic index of 10 instead of 90, its actually GOOD for your teeth instead of BAD, and it has 40% fewer calories and 75% fewer carbohydrates! It is also one of the FEW sugar substitutes that isnt HARMFUL to your health. You can buy this at Sprouts or online.
