Helpful Tips
Variations: Add some grilled chicken or shrimp for additional protein, or replace the walnuts with pecans or almonds for a different nutty twist.
Storage: This salad is best enjoyed fresh. If you plan to store it, keep the dressing separate and add it just before serving to prevent the spinach from wilting.
Substitutions: If feta cheese is not preferred, goat cheese or blue cheese can be excellent alternatives. Feel free to adjust the sweetness of the vinaigrette by adding more honey if desired.
Serving Suggestions
This Pomegranate and Spinach Salad pairs wonderfully with a slice of crusty bread and a light white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside grilled salmon or roasted chicken.
