Spinach and Salami Salad with Dried Apples and Creamy Balsamic Vinaigrette

My mom would be proud of me - I am learning to eat spinach. I honestly used to get nauseated by spinach, but it is just SO good for you, that I decided to conquer my phobia and abhorrence of this protein and vitamin packed green. Seriously, I'm sure my little brother remembers me throwing temper tantrums as a child when presented with spinach at the dinner table.

So I've found that I prefer raw or just barely cooked spinach, and I MUCH prefer baby spinach to the "adult" spinach. I always buy organic as I buy most lettuces organic because of disgusting pesticides, but the good news is that you can really find organic baby spinach in most ANY grocery store for pretty cheap.

So I have been making spinach salads to eat for lunch, but I just made this one today, and I LOVED the combination. Bonus? Most of the ingredients can be found at Costco.... #totalcostcoaddict




|Spinach and Salami Salad with Dried Apples|

Ingredients for one, lunch sized salad:

Large handful of Organic Baby Spinach Leaves
1 oz thinly sliced red onions
2 oz. sliced salami

Directions:

Super easy - throw everything in a bowl and make sure to top with fresh ground pepper and a drizzle of the dressing!

|Creamy Balsamic Vinaigrette|

*This is one of my husband's favorite dressings!*

1/2 cup of Paleo Mayo (this is my favorite recipe)
2 Tablespoons of Organic Dijon Mustard
1 teaspoon organic dried oregano

2 pinches of salt
fresh ground pepper to taste (I like a LOT)

Mix all ingredients together with a whisk and store in a mason jar for up to a week.

  3. In this fashion my associate Wesley Virgin's adventure starts with this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL VIDEO.

    Wesley was in the military-and soon after leaving-he found hidden, "mind control" secrets that the CIA and others used to get anything they want.

    As it turns out, these are the EXACT same SECRETS tons of famous people (especially those who "come out of nowhere") and the greatest business people used to become wealthy and successful.

    You've heard that you use less than 10% of your brain.

    Really, that's because the majority of your brain's power is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Perhaps that expression has even occurred INSIDE your own mind... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's mind 7 years ago, while riding an unlicensed, garbage bucket of a car with a suspended driver's license and with $3 on his banking card.

    "I'm so fed up with going through life check to check! When will I finally succeed?"

    You've taken part in those questions, am I right?

    Your success story is waiting to happen. All you have to do is in YOURSELF.
