Calories: 243kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 5 ounces of spring mix or spinach
- 2 large peaches sliced
- 1 avocado sliced (optional)
- ¼ cup of nuts or seeds of choice
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until completely mixed.
- Add the spring mix or spinach to the bowl and toss well.
- Add half of the sliced peaches, half of the sliced avocado if using, and ⅓ cup of chopped nuts or seeds. Toss well.
- Top with the other half of the peaches and the other half of the avocado if using. Sprinkle more nuts or seeds, and serve.
Notes
- Wash and dry your greens: The last thing you want is a watery, soggy salad. Before assembling, pat your washed greens dry with paper towels or run them through a salad spinner to get rid of as much excess water as possible.
- Wait to add the avocado: Avocados tend to brown very quickly, which is why I recommend adding it to the salad only right before serving.
- Toss the salad with care: When mixing the salad, toss the ingredients gently to avoid bruising the peaches, avocado, and greens.
