Nectarine and Spinach salad

Spinach
Nectarines
Pecans, chopped
Craisins




Dressing:
1/2 cup homemade apricot jam
1-2 tsp. balsamic vinegar



Mix dressing. If you need to thin this you can add water. You could add oil also, but I do water for less calories. Sometimes a thicker jam takes a splash of water to make it pourable.

Toss dressing with spinach. Add nectarines, pecans, craisins.

This salad is just so easy to pull off. It tastes fantastic and is a great way to get your nuts, fruits and veggies all in one serving. Your dressing should look like a rusty orange color. Try this, you will impress.
I forgot to add craisins to the picture! Make sure you add them.
This is what the jam looks like with the balsamic vinegar. Once it is mixed it looks like this picture on the bottom. It's almost a glaze. It should be drizzled onto the salad, not tossed.

  1. that looks SO GOOD. I will definitely try this because I don't know what's wrong with me, but making salad has always been hard for me. I can never figure out what to put in them. I can make almost anything but salads mystify me.
