This SPINACH SALAD RECIPE contains an assortment of my favourite ingredients - lightly pickled fennel and carrots, seeds, nuts and even mango - all tossed in a creamy dressing.

Making this SPINACH SALAD recipe need not be a complicated affair. I suggest keeping it as straightforward as possible with readily available ingredients and basic preparation, it’s just toss and serve.

Here are a few things to consider:

1) BABY SPINACH – This essential salad green is loaded with vitamins A and C, as well as calcium. It’s now available packaged as “ready-to-serve”, but I always suggest rinsing and spinning all greens before use. I speak from experience – nothing can turn you off of a potentially delicious salad more than biting into grit or sand.

2) PICKLE IT – Prepping the fennel and carrot into julienne or matchstick-size, then dropping them into a bath of cold water and seasoned rice wine vinegar adds crunch and a tangy sweetness to your vegetables.

3) MORE VEGETABLES – I used cucumber and red pepper because I had them on hand, but feel free to empty your vegetable drawer and add even more fresh flavours to your salad.

4) NUTS AND SEEDS – Just like the veggies, I used pumpkin and sunflower seeds, along with chopped walnuts, because I had them in the pantry. These three also happen to be loaded with protein. Together with the recipe’s hard-boiled egg, these ingredients help make this salad a complete meal.

5) DRESSING – I like this simple dressing. I added a smoked paprika at the end although the recipe is equally wonderful without – you decide.

What could be more delicious than a salad that ranks high on the healthy-good-eats scale and low on the preparation and fuss scale? This SPINACH SALAD recipe is the perfect toss and serve for your next meal.
