A classic, refreshing, and nutrient-packed dish, spinach salad is a versatile option that pairs well with various toppings and dressings. The tender spinach leaves serve as a base, offering a mild, slightly earthy flavor. It can be enhanced with a variety of add-ins like sliced strawberries, nuts, cheese (feta or goat cheese works wonderfully), red onions, or hard-boiled eggs. For extra flavor, try a zesty vinaigrette or balsamic glaze. This salad is perfect as a side dish or a light meal full of vitamins and antioxidants.
