FRIDAY FARE: Healthy Recipe - Spinach Salad

Guest blogger, Shannon Stahura:

Another fun summer salad full of vitamins and fresh leafy greens. This one has a familiar base, but its the dressing that really jazzes things up. Give it a try and I guarantee they will ask for seconds.

Salad:

Baby leaf spinach
1 head romain lettuce
1/4 cup cranberries
1/4 lb. feta cheese crumbled

Dressing:

2 tsp sugar
2 cloves garlic peeled and chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
1/3 med red onion
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup fresh Italian parsley leaves
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup olive oil

Directions:

Combine in a blender until smooth. This makes more than you will need so just save it for the next salad.

Toss greens with cheese and cranberries. Pour salad dressing on sparingly and taste. Add more as necessary.
