As winter continues to drag on here in the Northeast, I am looking forward quite impatiently to warmer weather. This salad reminds me of spring: fresh spinach and mushrooms topped with a delightfully sweet raspberry dressing. A dear friend shared the recipe with me years ago, and it’s the perfect treat for a healthy, gluten free lunch or a side salad at dinner. Enjoy!
First, rinse spinach. Wash and slice mushrooms. Rinse raspberries.
Combine spinach, mushrooms and 1 cup of the raspberries in a salad bowl.
Next, mash the remaining 1/4 cup of raspberries with the back of a spoon in a strainer over a small bowl or pitcher. Reserve juice, discard seeds.
Whisk vinegar, oil, salt, pepper and stevia with the raspberry juice. Drizzle over the salad. Gently toss.
I think you’re going to love this salad. Have a happy healthy week.

I’m not a fan of mushrooms in salad but this looks awesome and have to try!
Barbara says
Certainly you can leave out the mushrooms. This salad is also delicious with romaine lettuce, raspberries, olives and walnuts!
Looking forward to seeing you on Facebook 🙂
