Recipe Summary

Ingredients

• 6 cups fresh spinach leaves
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds or pine nuts
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons limoncello
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon honey
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a large salad bowl, combine the spinach, cranberries, and nuts.
2. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, limoncello, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients.
4. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of the salad.
5. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, zesty flavors of this unique salad.

Helpful Tips

• For added crunch, you can toast the nuts lightly before adding them to the salad.
• If limoncello is unavailable, you can substitute with 1 additional tablespoon of lemon juice and a bit of lemon zest for that citrusy kick.
• For a vegan option, omit the feta cheese or replace it with a vegan cheese alternative.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the dressing separate and add just before serving to prevent the spinach from becoming soggy.

Pairings

This Limoncello Spinach Salad pairs beautifully with grilled chicken, fish, or a fresh pasta dish. For drinks, a chilled glass of white wine or iced tea complements the salad’s citrusy notes perfectly.
