Truffle Honey Dew Melon Spinach Salad Recipe Notes:

Salad Base Notes: *

For the greens – I used spinach.  This Spinach Salad recipe can be varied with any type of leafy green, such as arugula, kale, baby kale, spring mix, romaine, etc.   

For the salt, I usually use either Sea Salt or Pink Himalayan Sea Salt.

For 2 servings, I used:

  • Half of a standard 5 oz. bag of the greens (or 2 large handfuls)
  • Juice of half of the lemon
  • Β½ T of olive oil

Notes for Instructions: *

The lemon juice and olive oil should together lightly dress the greens.  If you end up putting in too much, then you can add more greens to the bowl to balance it out.  If it is not dressed enough, then add a little more as you prefer.

When adding toppings, include the toppings on the individual servings rather than tossing together within the bowl.  This will allow you to properly portion over each serving.

Pairings:

Simple salads pair nicely with any main dish.

I paired this salad with Herbed Shrimp Scampi.

We are focused on doing low carb / keto meals lately to lose pounds gained during Covid times and working from home.  When doing low carb / keto meals, including a simple salad to accompany your main dish is key. 

Food Prep:

This comes together easily and quickly and can be done right before your meal.  I usually prepare the salad while the main dish is cooking.
