Spinach is the superstar in this salad! It’s packed full of protein, calcium, magnesium, manganese, folate, iron, copper and vitamins B2, B6, & E. Cashews add more protein, iron, magnesium and manganese as well as zinc, copper and phosphorus! The salad dressing is store bought, but a simple vinaigrette would work well too.

INGREDIENTS:

1-2 cups of pre-washed organic baby spinach

1/4 organic English cucumber, skin on, cut half-wise and sliced thinly

1/4 cup red onion, sliced thinly

1/2 avocado sliced thinly

1/2 cup organic strawberries, washed, hulled and sliced thinly

1/4 cup raw cashews, halved (or raw almonds, sliced)

2 tablespoons “Annie’s Lite Poppy Seed Dressing”

On a plate or large bowl, arrange spinach on bottom and layer cucumbers, red onion, avocado and strawberries. Sprinkle cashews or almonds on top and drizzle with dressing. Enjoy!
