Notes
Swaps: Use arugula or mixed greens instead of spinach, feta instead of goat cheese, and pecans, almonds or pumpkin seeds instead of walnuts. Add grilled chicken, cooked quinoa or avocado to make it a meal.
Storage: Dress only what you’ll eat right away. Keep leftover dressing in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 5 days and shake before using.
