It’s Easter Monday so probably many of us have lots of leftovers from Easter Sunday, and aren’t really in the mood for cooking something fancy today. That’s why I decided to save this warm spinach and apple salad recipe to share today as it is fast, easy, delicious, and only uses five ingredients which you probably already have!

This recipe is using apples from the new no name® Naturally Imperfect™ that I told you about a few weeks ago, but really any apple will do.

Yield: 4

no name® Naturally Imperfect™ Warm Spinach and Apple Salad

Prep Time 15 minutes

Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 pkg (142 g) PC Organics Baby Spinach
• 3 tbsp (45 mL) olive oil
• 2 no name® Naturally Imperfect™ medium apples, cored and thinly sliced
• 4 tsp (20 mL) pure maple syrup
• 4 tsp (30 mL) balsamic vinegar

Instructions

Place spinach in large serving bowl.

Heat olive oil in frying pan over medium heat; cook apples for 1 to 2 minutes or until softened. Whisk together maple syrup and vinegar; pour into pan and cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Pour over spinach and toss. Serve immediately.

There is just something so enjoyable about a warm salad, and the addition of the apples makes it that much better. I remember when I use to scoff at fruit in a salad (except for of course fruit salad), but now it’s become one of my favourite flavour combinations – especially when paired with balsamic vinegar. Yum!
