24g

5. Serve:

Tips:

- Use baby spinach for a more tender and delicate texture.

- If you prefer, red onions can be substituted with shallots for a milder taste.

- Gently toss the salad to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the vinaigrette.

- Add some crumbled feta or goat cheese for extra richness and a creamy texture.
