Prep 10 min · Makes 4 servings

Ingredients
- 5 oz. baby spinach leaves
- 2 T dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds
- 2-3 oz. goat cheese
- 1 T white balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 tsp. sweetener of your choice
- 2 T olive oil
- Pinch of salt
Directions
- If the spinach needs rinsing, wash it and spin it thoroughly dry, then add it to a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk the balsamic vinegar with the sweetener and salt. Add the olive oil and whisk again until the dressing comes together.
- Drizzle the dressing over the spinach and toss to coat the leaves. If you like a lighter salad, stop before using every last bit of dressing.
- Divide the dressed spinach among individual plates, then top each portion with dried cranberries, sliced almonds, and goat cheese. Serve immediately.
