Ingredients
10 ounces Baby spinach, washed
1½ Medium apples, chopped
1 cup Raisins
¼ cup Canola oil
¼ cup Apple cider vinegar
¼ cup Sugar
0.06 teaspoon Garlic powder
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before preparing the salad.
Place the washed baby spinach in a large salad bowl.
Chop the apples into bite-sized pieces and add them to the spinach.
Add the raisins to the bowl with the spinach and apples, and gently toss to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the canola oil, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and garlic powder until well combined.
Just before serving, pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to coat all the greens evenly.
Comments
Every ingredient is a staple at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, or Walmart, with no special stops required. At roughly 60 cents per serving—driven entirely by the spinach and apple—this is genuinely cheap for a side dish that actually tastes good. The stated fifteen minutes is honest: wash spinach, slice an apple, mix a three-ingredient vinaigrette, toss. It reheats poorly but serves as a bright counterpoint to heavier proteins at dinner, making it worth a weekly rotation rather than something you'd stretch across multiple nights.
