Spinach Fruit Salad with Macadamia Nuts and Feta

This is a wonderfully healthy, delicious and power-packed spinach salad for you and your family with a lot of options as to pairing and mixing. Blood orange and kiwi are added not only for the colour, but also an explosion of flavour. Any seasonal fruit is great though. I love macadamias for extra crunch and flavour, but pecans, hazelnuts or pistachios are just as lovely. The combination of sweet fruit and salty feta cheese makes this salad a winner and the perfect compliment to any meal.

Salad	Dressing
100 g Spinach 2 Blood oranges, cut into wedges and peeled 2 Kiwi, peeled and sliced 1 Small red onion, thinly sliced, optional 50 g Macadamia nuts 50 g Feta, crumbled	3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil 1/2 tsp Honey 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar 1/2 tbsp Lemon juice Sea salt and freshly milled black pepper

Divide spinach, sliced fruit and red onion if using, on two plates. Top with macadamia nuts and crumbled Feta cheese.
Mix together olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, and lemon juice together in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. You also can make this in a jar. Just place everything in the jar and secure lid. Shake to combine. Pour over salad and serve immediately.

Eva Taylor 5/3/21 12:04: What a wonderful salad, I’ll bookmark for the warmer weather that seems to be eluding us. A great tip I saw on a cooking show if you need to serve the salad later, you can prep everything and add the dressing to the bowl first putting the salad gently on top and when you’re ready to serve, you just toss the whole thing together! That way you use only one bowl.

Anonymous 9/3/21 19:13: Yes please to this salad. I've been a bit carb heavy these last few months and suddenly I want salad. Especially with the blood oranges. Aren't they just fabulous?
