Spinach and Walnut Salad

September 3, 2013 by Dawna Stone

One of my favorite things about a simple spinach salad is that you can easily add a variety of your favorite healthy options to create a good-for-you and filling meal. Like the crunch of walnuts or pine nuts in your salad? Add them! Want something cool and refreshing? Top off with your favorite fresh fruit.

This salad recipe is based on one of my favorite menu items at Bella Brava restaurant in St. Petersburg. With a few simple and minor tweaks, I have made this meal Healthy You!-approved (no sugar, wheat, dairy) and is now a staple in my lunch rotation. Try it for yourself and include your own favorite healthy additions.
