A delightful and refreshing salad combining the crispness of apples with the nutty flavor of toasted pecans, all dressed in a tangy vinaigrette.
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the dressing thoroughly to ensure the ingredients emulsify for a smooth texture.
Slice the apples into thin wedges and the red onion into fine rings.
Use a mandoline slicer for uniform slices of apple and onion.
In a serving bowl, layer the spinach, apple slices, and red onion.
Arrange the ingredients attractively for a visually appealing presentation.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Add the dressing just before serving to keep the spinach crisp.
Sprinkle the toasted pecans on top and serve immediately.
Toast the pecans in a dry skillet for a few minutes to enhance their flavor.
