- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup toasted walnuts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- In a large bowl, combine the spinach, arugula, cherry tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, and walnuts.
- In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
- Serve immediately for the freshest flavor.
Notes
- Add grilled chicken or shrimp to turn it into a full meal.
- Use goat cheese instead of feta for a creamier texture.
- For a nut-free version, omit the walnuts or replace them with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower.
