A refreshing and vibrant salad featuring crisp apples, tender spinach, and a tangy homemade dressing.
Place the fresh spinach in a large salad bowl.
Ensure the spinach is washed and dried for the best texture.
Slice the crisp apple into thin wedges and add to the bowl.
Keep the apple slices uniform for even distribution.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds and crumbled blue cheese over the salad.
Toast the almonds lightly for a richer flavor.
Combine the olive oil, vinegar, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic in a food processor or jar.
Shake the jar vigorously to ensure the dressing emulsifies properly.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Toss just before serving to keep the salad fresh.
Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors.
Pair with a light beverage for a complete meal.
