List of Ingredients




1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
¼ cup olive oil
½ pound fresh spinach, washed, dried, and stems removed
1 avocado, peeled and cut into ½-inch pieces
12 (or more) grape tomatoes, halved
¼ Vidalia or sweet onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup pine nuts, toasted (see note)

Recipe



To make the dressing, in a small bowl whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Continue whisking while adding the olive oil in a slow, steady stream. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if desired.

To make the salad, in a large bowl put the spinach, avocado, tomatoes, and onion. Toss with the dressing to coat evenly. Sprinkle with pine nuts and serve.

Servings: 4.

Note: Toast pine nuts in an ungreased skillet over medium heat stirring constantly, about 2 minutes or until golden.
