CITRUS SPINACH SALAD WITH FETA AND CRANBERRY DRESSING
Summer citrus salads are always a must in our Texas heat. This spinach and grapefruit salad is a quick and easy fix that can be whipped up easily with most items you already keep in your pantry/kitchen. I can easily have this as a meal in itself but it works great as a side salad with a cool cucumber/alfalfa/tzatziki 1/2 sandwich. The options are endless and yours to create. Add some sliced strawberries for sweetness and bright, festive color.

Tips:
- Freshness Matters: For the best flavor, use fresh spinach leaves that are crisp and vibrant. Wilted or yellowed leaves will not taste as good and may have lost some of their nutritional value.
- Variety is Key: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of greens in your salad. Arugula, kale, and romaine lettuce are all good options that pair well with spinach.
- Choose Quality Feta: Opt for a high-quality feta cheese that is made from sheep's milk or a blend of sheep's and goat's milk. This type of feta has a richer flavor and a more crumbly texture than feta made from cow's milk.
- Add Some Crunch: To add a bit of crunch to your salad, consider adding some chopped nuts or seeds. Walnuts, pecans, almonds, and sunflower seeds are all good options.
- Enhance the Flavor: Experiment with different dressings to find one that you enjoy. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard is a classic choice. You can also try a creamy dressing made with yogurt or sour cream.
Conclusion:
Spinach salad with feta cheese is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it is also a good source of fiber. With its vibrant colors and refreshing flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you are looking for a light and healthy meal, give this spinach salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
