Whether you’re looking for a bright and fresh light lunch, a side salad at dinner or a hearty salad… well this Baby Spinach Harvest Salad with a Lemon Shallot Vinaigrette has got you covered! I absolutely love everything about this salad! The dark green baby spinach makes for a perfect base. Then some sliced pear, dried cranberries, pomegranate seeds and honey roasted pecans. {you can find the dried cranberries and roasted pecans in the produce area with the salad fixings}
This hits on it all; a little sweet, a little crunchy, chewy, tender baby spinach, bright and fresh vinaigrette. The combination of it all is perfection. The vinaigrette is one of my favorite go to recipes that I almost always have a mason jar full of in the fridge ready to go. Its so simple too! Fresh lemon juice, shallot, dijon mustard, avocado oil, oregano, salt and pepper. Everything goes into a mason jar, give it a good shaking and you’ve got yourself a great vinaigrette!
If you wanted to make a meal out of this, which I have, simply add a little lean protein… some grilled chicken, grilled shrimp or sliced roasted turkey.

This looks super easy and yummy! We’ve been trying to eat a lot of spinach now since it’s in season. I’m going to try this out.

I love to put Craisins on a salad made with spinach! I will have to add all the other things you suggested too, like the pear. Salads can be such a good change of pace, especially if you skip the iceberg.
Thanks for coming by the Retro Re-Pin Party!
