Raspberry Spinach Salad

Thanks to Drew Ramsey, MD who inspired me for this recipe. This salad is simple and so good!

In the original recipe, Drew Ramsey toasted 1/3 cup hazelnuts (350 degree F. for 10-12 minutes) and cooled them before garnishing the salad. I chose sliced almonds instead of hazelnuts.

For the dressing, I whisked together olive oil, lemon zest and lemon juice, kefir, honey, salt and pepper. I love this dressing recipe! It taste amazing, it’s acidic and sweet at the same time. I also love adding plain kefir in my recipes, this cultured milk product promotes health. I save this recipe, so I could serve it with a green salad or any summer salad. It’s delightful.

My 15 y. old daughter loves this salad:)
