Recipe type: Salads & Salad Dressings
Serves: 8
Ingredients
1 large container (11 oz) prewashed baby spinach
4 apples, sliced and dipped in pineapple juice to prevent browning (or buy pre-sliced apples from the market)
1 c dried, sweetened cranberries
1 c toasted pecan halves (candied if you want to be extra decadent)
1 c store-bought, low-fat balsamic vinaigrette
OR ½ c vincotto fig vinegar
OR ⅔ c balsamic vinegar + ⅓ c maple syrup
Directions
Layer spinach, apples, cranberries, and pecans, lasagna-style, in a deep salad bowl, then repeat. (That way those who serve themselves later will still get plenty of goodies.)
Serve with balsamic vinaigrette, fig vincotto vinegar, or balsamic vinegar and maple syrup whisked together. (Do not dress in advance, or the salad will wilt.)
