Spring Salad with Green Garlic Dressing

The grains and hard-boiled egg make this spinach salad more filling and the creamy garlic dressing is delicious!

SERVING SIZE

serves 2-4

INGREDIENTS

1 cup cooked grains, chilled (like spelt, bulgur or farro)

4 hard-boiled eggs, sliced

4 tablespoons sunflower seeds, toasted

6 cups spinach

1 small spring onion, bulb only, very thinly sliced

½ cup black olives, sliced

Green Garlic Dressing:

2 stalks green garlic, white and light green parts only, roughly chopped

½ cup olive oil

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon classic mustard

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon sea salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

 

INSTRUCTIONS

Put the eggs in a medium pot and completely cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, and once boiling, cover and remove the pot from heat. Let sit for 10 minutes only! Remove the eggs from the pot and put them in an ice bath to stop them from cooking longer. Peel and set aside.

In a food processor or blender, pulse the chopped green garlic into small pieces. Add in the remaining dressing ingredients and blend until the dressing is smooth and emulsified. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Chill.

In a dry sauté pan, toast the sunflower seeds until golden, about 1 minute.

In a large bowl, toss together the spinach, chilled grains, toasted sunflower seeds, spring onion, sliced black olives and three tablespoons dressing.

Place the salad into serving bowls, top with sliced egg and drizzle over more dressing.

Store any unused dressing in the refrigerator.
