I just prepared these to accompany Pasta al Forno a la Turca (Turkish style pasta in the oven). All the family loved it. So much that my husband rushed back to the organic bazaar to get some more spinach so I could do it again, but unfortunately they were all finished.
December is the perfect time to find these fresh baby spinach and delicious white radish. By now I guess everyone knows how healthy spinach and white radish is, so I will not comment on this.
It is again – so very easy, you can add some other ingredients such as fresh red peppers or cucumbers or even an avocado or cauliflower sprouts, it is all up to what you have and what you want. This is what I wanted and had.
I suppose the difference comes from adding two cruches garlic cloves, the freshness of the spinach. Another little trick is that you should first add the salt, then the olive oil and finally the vinegar. I always prefer to prepare my salads in a large mixing pot. Mix really well and then transfer to a serving dish or individual bowls.
I hope you will try and enjoy this delicious and very healthy salad.
Afiyet olsun.
