New Recipe: Fresh Spinach Salad

Happy Tasty Tuesday!

With it finally starting to feel like spring in the 518 I thought I would share with you a fun "appetizer" to bring to a spring picnic or outside event. Once it starts getting warmer out the meals get a little lighter and I tend to opt for more fresher ingredients. I often make an antipasto in the summer time and bring it over to whoevers pool I plan on lying by but this fresh spinach salad is also a great alternative because it has so many tasty ingredients but only takes about 5 minutes to throw together. All you need to do it provide the salad tongs and everyone can help themselves!

Ingredients:

• 1 bag of fresh spinach
• 1 package of fresh mozzarella cheese
• 1 jar of roasted red peppers, slices
• 1 jar of olives
• 1 container of balsamic vinaigrette

Directions:

• Lay fresh spinach on a large serving tray
• Slice up fresh mozzarella and roasted red peppers and lay on top of spinach
• Drain the jar of olives and place on top of spinach mixture
• Drizzle top with balsamic vinaigrette--or just leave it plain and allow guests to put their own dressing on.
• Enjoy!
