***Spinach Pomegranate Salad***

For a lighter dish choose a fat free or light feta cheese, plain nuts (no need to toast with sugar), and a light dressing - even try just plain balsamic vinegar!



1 bag baby spinach
1/4 red onion, sliced thin
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled (goat cheese would work well also)
1/4 cup alfalfa sprouts (optional)
1 pomegranate, peeled & seeds separated
Balsamic Vinegarette

This is my favorite - Brianna's New American Creamy Balsamic. Mix it up and serve.
