Simple, fresh, tasty and quick! Perfection! And despite what Scott Conant says on Chopped, I totally Heart Raw Red Onion!! YUM! It is often the star of my salads besides the frequent appearances of avocado 🙂
Spinach & Orange Salad with Maple Sesame Dressing
Makes 2 servings
4 cups raw baby spinach
1/2 small red onion, sliced
1 orange, peeled and segmented
fresh black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted (in a dry skillet, toast for a few minutes, stirring frequently)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons tamari
1/4 teaspoon water
- Place spinach in a large bowl. Toss onion and orange segments on top of the spinach. Season with black pepper.
- Whisk sesame seeds, maple syrup, tamari, and water together in a small bowl. Add to salad and toss to mix.
- SO simple, enjoy!
