Ingredients
-
200g baby spinach (fresh and clean)
-
1 large apple (preferably red or two-tone for greater sweetness)

½ small red onion

30g walnuts or pumpkin seeds
-
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
-
1 tablespoon cider or apple vinegar

Ground black pepper
Professional Step-by-Step Preparation
-
Salad base: Place the baby spinach in a large bowl. If the stems are very long, you can remove them, although in the "baby" version they are usually very tender.
-
Cutting the onion: Cut the red onion into very thin julienne strips (feathers). A professional trick: if you want to soften its flavor, let it rest for 5 minutes in cold water with a splash of vinegar before adding it to the salad.
-
Apple preparation: Wash the apple well and cut it into thin slices or wedges, keeping the skin on to make use of its fiber and color.
-
Crunchy texture: Break up the walnuts with your hands and add them to the mix along with the drained onion and the apple.
-
Technical vinaigrette: In a small bowl, emulsify the olive oil with the vinegar, a pinch of pepper, and a generous amount of Bonsalt 0%
-
Serving: Pour the dressing over the salad just before serving and toss gently so the spinach leaves do not get crushed and keep all their volume.
