I just love this Spinach and Clementine Salad.  In fact, I have become somewhat addicted to it and have had it at least 4 times in the last 10 days! What’s really great about it is that it is made up of complementing flavours and contrasting textures. The baby spinach with the soft goat cheese and the crunchy almonds, the sweet clementines and the sharp flavour of the red onions all come together to make a simple yet yummy spinach salad.

This salad, filled with nutrient-rich ingredients, is so delicious and so quick to put together that you will probably find yourself making it more often than other salads.  The salad will serve four people as a starter or a side, but if you are having it as a main, there will probably only be enough for 2-3, depending on your appetite!

Enjoy!
