With nectarines available nearly all year long, you can enjoy this salad almost anytime. I actually like it best in the winter, when the tartness of imported nectarines seems to make it even more refreshing. Tossing fresh mint with the spinach adds an unexpected flavor. Food Fact: The vitamin C in lime juice can help your body absorb the iron in spinach. |
| Ingredients: |
4 cups baby spinach (4 ounces)
1/4 cup mint leaves juice of 1/2 lime 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar 1 teaspoon chopped shallot 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil freshly ground black pepper 1 nectarine, thinly sliced 1/2 cup fresh blueberries, or 1/4 cup dried |
| Instructions: |
1. Place the spinach in a large mixing bowl. Stack the mint leaves and cut them crosswise into thin strips. Toss the mint with the spinach. 2. For the dressing, combine the lime juice, vinegar, shallot, and salt in a small bowl. Whisk in the oil. Season the dressing to taste with pepper. 3. Pour the dressing over the greens, Tossing to coat lightly. Divide the dressed spinach among 4 salad plates. Fan one-quarter of the nectarine slices on 1 side of each plate.
