Enjoy this as a side dish. It also makes a delicious breakfast if you add organic chicken sausage (one 10 oz. package).

What You'll Need

Makes 4 servings

• 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)

What To Do

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!
