Spinach, Apple, And Walnut Salad With Bacon EVOO & Bourbon Vinegar

I am starting this year off intending to eat a salad every day. 🥗

One of my favorite salad combinations is spinach, walnuts, and apples. This salad is crisp, refreshing, and super healthy. It is packed full of omega 3s and antioxidants!

Pair with a steaming bowl of soup on a chilly day.

 Ingredients

• 4 cups raw spinach, washed and dried
• 1 Medium apple (any variety but I love Gala or Honey Crisp)
• ½ Red onion, sliced
• ½ Cup raw walnut pieces
• 1 Tbsp. chia seeds (optional)
• ¼ to ½ Cup Blue Cheese or Gorgonzola, crumbled or cubed
• 3 Tbsp. Bacon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 3 Tbsp. Bourbon White Balsamic Vinegar
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. In a medium size bowl add spinach, apple, red onion, walnuts, chia seeds, and cheese.
2. Combine oil and vinegar. Drizzle over the salad then toss.
3. Add salt and pepper as needed for taste. Don't you feel so healthy?
