I HAVE A NEW FAVORITE SALAD!!!  I’m not kidding – I could probably eat this stuff every day!!!  In fact, I think next time I will add some chicken and then have it for lunch for the week!!!

Spinach, Feta & Pine Nut Salad

  • baby spinach leaves (approx. 4 c or enough to fill your salad bowl!)
  • chopped fresh mint (this amount is up to you and how much you like the minty taste)
  • 2 oz Feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 pkg. pine nuts
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 T olive oil
  • oregano to taste
  • dill to taste

Toast pine nuts – sprinkle on small baking sheet and toast at 375 for about 5 minutes.

Maybe not the greatest picture because there isn’t much color but you have got to try this salad – it is so good!!!  Light, refreshing and easy to throw together!
