Serves 4
This classic salad combination is simplified here with brown rice vinegar in place of a heavier dressing. Use any fresh berries you like — I think ripe, red strawberries provide a beautiful contrast to the green spinach.
2/3 cup walnuts, toasted if desired and roughly chopped
6 cups baby spinach leaves, washed and dried
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
3 green onions, sliced
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
brown rice vinegar to taste
Combine the walnuts, spinach, strawberries, and green onions in a large serving bowl and toss gently. Sprinkle with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and brown rice vinegar to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!
