Method

  1. 1

    Wash the baby spinach thoroughly, dry well, and place in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Rub the red onion with a little salt to reduce bitterness and add to the spinach.

  3. 3

    Chop the dried plums into thin strips and add them to the salad.

  4. 4

    Lightly roast the walnut kernels in a pan to release their aroma and add to the salad.

    In a separate bowl, mix olive oil, pomegranate molasses, and salt to prepare the dressing.

  6. 6

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad, toss gently, and garnish with cheese if desired before serving.

Note. To keep the spinach crisp, add the dressing just before serving.
