instructions
    1

    Begin by rinsing the 4 cups of spinach under running water, then pat it dry with a clean towel or paper towels. Place the spinach in a large salad bowl.

    2

    Peel the 2 oranges and remove the segment membranes to collect the juice. Cut each orange into bite-sized pieces and add them to the salad bowl.

    3

    Cut the grapefruit in half and use a knife to separate the segments from the membrane. Collect any juice that is released and add both the segments and the juice to the bowl.

    4

    Thinly slice the 1/4 piece of red onion and add to the bowl for extra flavor.

    5

    Crumble 1 cup of feta cheese over the salad for a creamy texture and note of saltiness.

    6

    In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper to form the dressing.

    7

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients well.

    Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Spinach and Citrus Salad!
