Ingredients

• 6 cups Baby spinach leaves
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 0.25 medium Red onion
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
• 0.25 cup Sliced almonds, toasted
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1.5 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the baby spinach leaves thoroughly under cold water, pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture. Place the spinach in a large salad bowl.

Step 2

Slice the cherry tomatoes in halves and add them to the bowl with the spinach.

Step 3

Peel the cucumber, slice it into thin rounds, and add it to the salad bowl.

Step 4

Cut the red onion into very thin slices and add them to the salad. To reduce the onion's sharpness, you can soak the slices in cold water for 5 minutes before adding them.

Step 5

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and toasted sliced almonds over the salad for added flavor and texture.

Step 6

In a small mixing bowl, prepare the honey Dijon dressing. Combine olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk vigorously until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.

Step 7

Pour the honey Dijon dressing over the salad and toss gently to evenly coat all ingredients in the dressing.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or side dish. Enjoy!
