Spinach Apple Salad

Spinach apple salad is built on contrast. Tender greens meet crisp fruit, and suddenly a simple bowl feels lively and refreshing. The sweetness of the apple lifts the earthiness of the spinach, creating a salad that feels light but still satisfying.

In the Let’s Veg lifestyle, spinach apple salad represents balance. Eating more vegetables doesn’t mean giving up flavor or joy. It means pairing ingredients that naturally work together and letting freshness lead the way.
