Lemon Feta & Pistachio Salad

Lemon Feta & Pistachio Salad

I called this cold b*tch salad because it will truly cool you down on a summer day. It's a sweet, tart and fresh salad dressing, mixed with crispy vegetables, sharp feta cheese and crunchy pistachios. It's simple, but so so good.

Ingredients

For the dressing:

  • Juice from one lemon
  • 1 tsp tahini
  • 1 clove garlic minced finely
  • 1/2 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • salt & pepper to taste

For the salad:

  • 3 cups spinach roughly torn
  • 1 large beefsteak tomato
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup pistachios chopped

Instructions

  • In a small jar, add the ingredients for the salad dressing (in no particular order) and shake well. The dressing should emulsify after 30-90 seconds of shaking. You can also mix with a whisk if you don't have a jar on hand!
  • Thinly slice the beefsteak tomatoes and lay them flat on a plate. Each plate should have 4-5 slices of tomato.
  • In a large bowl, toss the spinach, feta and pistachios. Add in the dressing and toss again.
  • Top the tomatoes with the salad and serve with crusty bread. Super simple but so so good.
