Quick and easy Christmas salad recipe, homemade with simple ingredients in one bowl in 20 minutes. Loaded with spinach, cranberries, pecans and sweet honey poppyseed dressing.
In a large salad bowl, add olive oil, vinegar, honey, onion, mustard powder, poppy seeds, salt, pepper.
Whisk for at least 1 minute until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined and fragrant.
Add spinach and toss everything together until combined.
Sprinkle chopped pecans and cranberries on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
Read all my tips above.
Tastes best when served immediately. I don’t recommend storing leftovers for later because if the vinaigrette has already been mixed with the spinach, it will become soggy over time.
You can store the spinach, poppy seed dressing, toppings (cranberries and pecans) separately for 2 days in the fridge and mix right before serving.
