If you're looking for a truly refreshing salad, look no further. Baby spinach leaves are paired with pomegranate and chickpeas to form the perfect starter salad to any meal. Especially good for those summertime outdoor meals.

Ingredients:

  • 1 bag baby spinach leaves, rinsed and drained
  • 3/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1 pomegranate, peeled, chopped and de-seeded
  • 1 can (16 ounce) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate syrup

Preparation:

In a large bowl, add onion, walnuts, pomegranate, and chickpeas. Toss gently.

Place a bed of baby spinach on each serving plate. Cover with onion, walnut, pomegranate, and chickpea mixture.

Drizzle pomegrante syrup over each plate of salad and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese. Serve immediately.

For quicker prep, all items may be tossed gently in a large bowl, adding syrup last so as not to saturate and damage spinach leaves.
