Recipe: Healthy Summer Salad

This salad is super easy to make and full of antioxidants. It will please even the pickiest of eaters.

Here's my simple recipe for a great summer salad. Just add all these ingredients to a big bowl and serve:

1 bag of spinach

1 lemon to squeeze over the top of the salad

1 Avocado cut into slices

Crushed black pepper

Oil olive and vinegar

I used 41 Olives blood orange olive oil and their peach vinaigrette for the dressing. It was a perfect combo. 41 Olives is located in Irvine, but in Encinitas you can check out Baker & Olive for something similar. The right mix of infused olive oil and vinegar really make the salad a standout.
