Spinach
A bunch of Mint leaves
A handful of Blanched Almonds
Segments of 1 orange
Olive Oil
We enjoy this salad anytime, but particularly in the winter.
If you have just cracked your own almonds, blanch them by plunging in boiling water for 2 minutes, cool in cold water, then rub the skins of between your finger and thumb.
Place all the ingredients in a large pan (a wok is ideal) with a little olive oil and heat gently while continually tossing.
When the spinach is just wilting, serve up and enjoy.
This salad can be made using young chard or acelgas leaves (also known as spinach beet or perpetual spinach in the UK)
