Hi everyone! Hope you are all having a great week so far. Today I wanted to share one of my favourite salads. This one is super simple and only has 4 ingredients! Quick & easy, my kind of salad. 😉
Spinach is crazy good for you. From improving your skin/hair to bettering your bone health, this little leafy green does it all! As for the yummies (see my other salad recipe for what a “yummy” is), this time I used avocado, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and red onion. AKA the most delicious things! 😀
What’s in it:
- Spinach
- Avocado
- Feta Cheese
- Red Onion
- Cherry Tomatos
- Your favourite balsamic dressing
- OR a simple homemade balsamic (2 tbsp olive oil, 1.5 tbsp balsamic vinegar, squirt of Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and a drop of maple syrup)
Start by putting as much spinach as your heart desires in a bowl. Now take that beautifulll red onion and slice it up really thin. Add that in. Throw in your cherry tomatos, and chop up that avocado into large chunks and add that too. Hungry yet? 😛 Finally, add the best ingredient of all… FETA!
Surprise surprise, I love cheese. Haha. Keep in mind everything in moderation though. Your salad should be sprinkled with feta, not made of 90% feta (which if I am being real is what I want to do all the time… but, self-restraint friends.)
Finally add your favourite balsamic dressing, or use the recipe I put above! And that’s it! SO delicious and nutritious. Make sure to add some more protein (ie chicken) if you are having your salad as a meal.
Do you have a favourite homemade balsamic that you make? Let me know in the comments below, it is always nice to get new recipe tips! 😀

Thanks Melanie!
I make balsamic dressing the same way, but I usually add honey instead of maple syrup. Delicious!
Oh no way! Honey is such a good idea. Never thought of that, thank you! 😀
I have been eating really bad lately, I really need so start eating more salads again.This one is so easy to make and simple, thanks!
I find when the weather cools down it is best to eat salad with soup! That way you still feel cozy and warm after eating a salad 🙂
Great idea and very simple to make. The maple syrup touch is perfect for me!
The maple syrup makes the dressing! Absolutely love it 🙂
Yamm. I want to try this for lunch!

Spinach has lots of health benefits, so it is worth it to give it a go even if it’s not your fave!
