Ingredients

• 1 bag pre-washed baby spinach

• 1 cup sweetened, dried cranberries

• 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans (can be toasted or candied)

• 1 cup crumbled goat cheese

• 1 large apple, chopped (I recommend Granny Smith or Macintosh)

• Dressing of choice served on side (I recommend a raspberry vinaigrette)

Preparation

1. Dump spinach into a colander; sift through and remove any leaves that look damaged, discolored or wilted.

2. Rinse remaining leaves thoroughly; shake colander to remove excess water (may want to pat with a paper towel to dry leaves a bit more, or use a salad spinner).

3. Transfer spinach to a large bowl and add all ingredients, toss.

4. Transfer to individual bowls and add dressing as desired.
