Speedy Spinach-and-Carrot Salad

Work Time: 10 Minutes
Total Time: 10 Minutes
Servings: 4


Tasty tip: To make this sweet salad savory, omit the brown sugar and don't add the optional cranberries

I whip up this salad all the time. Just toss prewashed baby spinach with grated carrots. The dressing requires nothing more than whisking together vinegar, olive oil, and brown sugar. Anybody can do that!

Ingredients

1 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp olive oil
1 bag (6 oz) fresh baby spinach
2 carrots, grated (1 c)
1/2 dried cranberries (optional)

Whisk together vinegar, sugar, and salt in large bowl. Whisk in oil and season with more salt if needed and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Add spinach, carrots, and cranberries (if using), then gently toss to coat. Serve immediately.
