Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, organic spinach. If you can't find fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • To make the salad more colorful, add some other fruits and vegetables, such as strawberries, blueberries, or avocado.
  • If you don't have any red onion on hand, you can use a white or yellow onion instead. Just be sure to slice it thinly so that it doesn't overpower the other flavors in the salad.
  • If you're looking for a vegan or dairy-free salad dressing, you can use olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and a touch of maple syrup instead of the honey mustard dressing.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of dressing to your liking. If you prefer a lighter dressing, use less dressing. If you like a more flavorful dressing, use more dressing.

Conclusion:

This fresh spinach, orange, and red onion salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy your favorite greens. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great side dish for grilled or roasted meats. With its vibrant colors and refreshing flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
