Feta Walnut Spinach Salad with Matchstick Carrots and Creamy Dijon Dressing ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #savory #winter #salad #recipe

A simple, savory salad with a pleasing blend of tastes, textures and colors. I used my rosemary garlic marinated feta with crunchy walnuts, matchstick carrots and topped it with a creamy Dijon dressing.


This salad came about one day when I needed a quick salad and I grabbed what I had and tossed it together and it was wonderful! The carrots and walnuts add a nice crunch and contrast to the earthy spinach, with the salty, garlicky feta on top and then that creamy Dijon dressing just rounds it out. It’s a salad I can eat over … and over … and over again and never tire of it.

It’s super healthy too!

Feta Walnut Spinach Salad

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

For the dressing:

  • 1/4 cup plain 2% Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup low fat milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • A pinch of dried dill
  • 23 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Trader Joe’s Aioli Garlic Mustard Sauce

For the salad:

  • Fresh organic spinach leaves
  • Matchstick carrots
  • Toasted walnuts
  • Rosemary Garlic Marinated feta cheese (recipe here)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk all the dressing ingredients together. Add milk as needed to thin to the desired consistency. Set aside.
  2. Fill your salad plate/bowl with spinach, top generously with matchstick carrots, then sprinkle with toasted walnuts and feta cheese.

Notes

You can also make this as a salad in a jar: put the feta and dressing in the bottom of the jar, top with carrots, then pack the jar with spinach leaves and put the walnuts on top. Cover and store in the fridge until it’s time to eat. At serving time, dump the contents of the jar onto a large salad plate or bowl.
