Ingredients

Fresh spinach

6 cups, washed and dried

Asparagus

1 bunch, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces

Cherry tomatoes

1 cup, halved

Red onion

1/4 cup, thinly sliced

Feta cheese

1/2 cup, crumbled

Walnuts

1/2 cup, toasted and roughly chopped

Olive oil

1 teaspoon

Honey

1 teaspoon

Salt

to taste

Black pepper

Instructions

1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes, until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse immediately with cold water to stop the cooking process.
2. In a large bowl, combine the washed spinach, blanched asparagus, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and toasted walnuts.
3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the vinaigrette dressing ingredients: olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
4. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly without bruising the spinach.
5. Serve immediately for the freshest taste and enjoy a burst of spring flavor!
