Most delicious spinach salad

I made up this salad for Valentine's Day dinner with my husband. It's sort of a conglomeration of various salads I've had over the years... but the end result is utterly delicious!! This recipe makes enough salad for two, so adjust your amounts as needed.

  • 2-3 c. baby spinach
  • 1 apple (I used Jonagold)
  • ~3 strips of bacon, fried and crumbled
  • 1/4 c. walnuts, chopped
  • 1/4 c. feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 T. maple syrup (do NOT use the fake stuff!)
  • 2 T. olive oil
  • 2 tsp. red wine vinegar
  • salt and pepper

    Fill two salad bowls with baby spinach. Cut an apple into eighths, then slice each eighth into pieces. Scatter a handful of apple slices over the spinach (be generous). Scatter crumbled bacon, chopped walnuts, and crumbled feta cheese over top of it all.

    Mix together the maple syrup, olive oil, and vinegar with a pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle over the salad.
