Our friends invited us over for brunch and asked me to bring a salad. I wanted something light and sweet, but easy to throw together. While I kept this recipe parve, feta would be a perfect addition, making it even more appropriate for brunch.

Ingredients

Salad

  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach

  • 1/2 cup craisins

  • 1 avocado, diced

  • 1/2 of an English cucumber, diced

Candied Nuts

  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds

  • 1/2 cup pecan halves

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

Dressing

  • 3 tbsp olive oil

Set oven to 350F. Spread almonds and pecans into one layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. Drizzle with maple syrup. Toast in the oven for 4-5 minutes.

Place the olive oil, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard in a container. Shake well to emulsify.
