Spinach Orange Salad Recipe | Spinach Salad With Orange and Pomegranate

If you are looking for some colorful, healthy, delicious and vegan Salad for meal then this Spinach Orange Pomegranate Salad is perfect. Now-a-days i prefer only salads for lunch and fruits for dinner. This is working out for me and I am feeling fresh and healthy. Half cooked or raw salads or just mixed fruits alone makes my meal more satisfying. We love eating raw salads and i always prefer a light dressing than the creamy or yogurt based ones. I slightly modified this Salad recipe from Two Peas & their Pod. Here, I used fresh Pomegrante and orange juice for dressing. The salad turned out awesome with both sweet and tangy taste.

Notes:
I buy pre washed spinach but still i prefer to wash it before using.
Eating raw spinach is more healthy than the sauteed or blanched ones but take care it is fresh and free from pesticides, insecticides or other chemicals.
Homegrown is best!
You can also use Red Wine Vinegar and skip fresh orange and pomegranate juice, apple cider in the dressing.
