A very popular spinach salad around our house. Freely vary the proportions based on availability and number of diners.
Combine in your salad bowl:
Fresh spinach or baby spinach, washed and cut (if needed) to bite-sized peices.
1 apple, chopped.
1/2 cup frozen corn.
1 or 2 small tomatoes, chopped.
1 small onion, chopped.
Strong cheese, shredded or cubed, to taste. I use a strong blue or sharp cheddar, depending on what's around.
1/2 tablespoon sea salt.
Dress with a mixture of:
Balsamic vinegar, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dijon mustard or (my preference) wasabi powder (just a pinch).
Toss. Give it at least 10 minutes and the corn will be thawed.
