Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh spinach and watercress. If you can't find watercress, arugula or baby kale are good substitutes.
  • To make the lime vinaigrette, use freshly squeezed lime juice. Bottled lime juice will not have the same flavor.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the spinach and watercress by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely.
  • Add the almonds and cranberries just before serving. This will help them stay crunchy.
  • Serve the salad immediately. It is best when fresh.

Conclusion:

This spinach and watercress salad with lime vinaigrette is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy fresh greens. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great side dish for grilled chicken or fish. The lime vinaigrette is a tangy and refreshing dressing that complements the flavors of the spinach and watercress perfectly. Give this salad a try next time you're looking for a healthy and tasty meal.
