OK, this fantastic vegan spinach salad is a new favorite on our homestead. I made it to serve alongside a big plate of spaghetti arribbiata the other night, and the hubby said this was his new favorite. 
 
No boring salads here – this bowl is loaded with fresh tomatoes, sliced avocado, crunchy cucumbers and bell pepper, and a simple dressing.

What’s In This Plant-Based Spinach Salad?

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

  • Baby Spinach
  • Tomatoes
  • Cucumber
  • Bell Peppers
  • Avocado
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Apple Cider Vinegar, which gives this dressing a little extra tang which is really fantastic! I love using this organic apple cider vinegar with the mother which has a great flavor.  I think it gives a nice extra sweetness and depth.
  • Whole Grain Dijon Mustard – for a really nice flavor and texture, this whole grain dijon is a favorite in our pantry… I’d stay clear from yellow prepared mustard for this recipe.
  • Maple syrup
  • Garlic
