Sunny Summer Days calls for cool and refreshing Salads like this one!

I love Summer Salads with fresh greens. Especially Salads with Spinach are extra healthy, packed with Protein and so nutritious.

Easy Spinach Salad

In fact I have been making this quick Spinach Salad for a long time now! I just never happened to share it with y'all, thinking its too simple!

Easy Spinach Salad

But sometimes Simple Salad recipes like this one hits the spot. Especially on a sultry hot Summer day when you crave something super light and refreshing for lunch, this salad comes handy.

This Salad has a base of Spinach and Purple Cabbage. And to that i have added some freshly chopped Bell Peppers for crunch, Persian Cucumbers, Chopped Heirloom Tomatoes, & Sliced Red Onions.

Also the Vinaigrette is super simple and extra refreshing!

The Vinaigrette consists of Fresh Mint Leaves along with Garlic, Lime Juice, Salt to season, a bit of Olive Oil and just a bit of Honey! It comes together super quick in a blender and is the perfect addition to this zesty and refreshing Spinach Salad.

A perfect side Salad Recipe

  • Red Onion - thinly sliced Red Onions are a welcome add in
