Easy Wholefood Spinach Salad With Feta, Dates & Walnuts

Spinach has always been a top pick ingredient of mine for nourishing the body as it is such a high-fibre, densely nutritious salad green. The rich, dark leaves are loaded with essential phytonutrients and lend themselves to an endless variety of raw or cooked meals. Here, I've paired the subtle flavour of spinach leaves with a punch of salty feta cheese, crunchy walnuts and a surprise kick of sweetness from dates.


Spinach Salad With Feta, Dates & Walnuts

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw spinach, organic

  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

  • 3 tbsp dates, sulfur-free

  • 2 tbsp walnuts, crushed

  • 2 tbsp garlic infused olive oil

  • cracked pepper and pink rock salt to season


Method

In a large serving bowl, add the main salad ingredients. Toss with the olive oil and seasonings. So easy, it'll literally take you 2 minutes to put together! Try it as a standalone salad dish or as a side to chicken, white fish or your favourite summertime BBQ eats.

Easy Meal Prep


You can easily make fast work of meal prep for this healthy salad by using washed and ready-to-eat bagged spinach from the grocery store. Try it with a variety of different salad greens such as arugula or radicchio. If you use a less durable lettuce or greens like spinach, it can spoiled quickly, so it is best to make this recipe on the day you need it rather than prepare and store portions.


Healthy Topping Ideas


Oh, let me count the ways! You can enjoy this salad recipe as is or with the addition of protein such as lightly seasoned chicken skewers, a small serving of grilled beef or lamb, or keep it more vegan by adding chickpeas or seasoned tofu. Swap the feta for a nice cashew cheese. I also encourage you to try it with different cheeses that pair well with dates such as brie, blue cheese or Swiss if you consume dairy.
