Spinach and Citrus Salad with Sweet and Spicy Almonds

What to do with a massive contain of spinach?

Make Spinach and Citrus Salad with Sweet and Spicy Almonds of course 🙂

Well, and add it everywhere else I can!

Spinach in my smoothies (really – you gotta try it), spinach in mason jar salads, like these:

And let’s not forget the classic: spinach in my scrambled eggs:

But to really use up a whole whack of these powerhouse greens, I gotta bring in the ultimate user-upper: spinach salad. But not just any spinach salad – Spinach and Citrus Salad with Sweet and Spicy Almonds.

This salad is such a yummy dish and you can make it for a side at suppertime or you can add some shrimp for a quick supper.

 This citrus salad is a delish addition to any meal and packs extra nutrition with folate-rich spinach, vitamin C-filled oranges and healthy-fat nuts.

I had almonds on hand when I made this recently but feel free to choose your favourite nut – walnuts or pecans would work too.

The toasted nuts with the rosemary and spice is really nice – and different. The citrus salad dressing is wonderful to have on hand – so refreshingly tangy.

You can double the recipe for the salad dressing and it keeps in the fridge for a week in a small, air-tight mason jar.

I stopped buying salad dressing years ago because they always sounded good but I never got through a whole bottle of whatever I bought.

Salad dressing really is one of those foods that many people buy but is super easy to make.

Remember when it comes to beating prediabetes, the antioxidant-rich vitamin C in this spinach and citrus is a good friend to you.

We are trying to literally flood your system with maximal-nutrition, including antioxidants to help undo any damage that’s been done to arteries by the higher than normal sugar in the blood stream.

Make spinach and citrus part of your prediabetes reversal plan and you will be packing major nutrition power.

Now let’s eat!
