Fresh spinach is available throughout the year and makes a nice change from lettuce. Like other dark green leafy vegetables, spinach is a valuable source of folate, iron and potassium.
Instructions
Step 1
In a salad bowl, combine spinach and onion.
Step 2
Peel orange and cut into sections. Cut each section in half and add to the spinach mixture.
Step 3
Squeeze juice from remaining orange membranes into a measuring cup and pour in enough orange juice to make 1/4 cup (60 mL). Stir in garlic, salt, pepper and oil.
Step 4
Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours to let the flavours mellow.
