Spring Salad


Okay, so I just started a new part-time job in a cafe, where I basically serve muffins, croissants, jumbo cookies, and a variety of sandwiches. This means that I get to eat all of that food for free. After my first week of working there, I started to feel really unhealthy and had to have a meal loaded with anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals. So I took all of the veggies I had in my fridge and improvised this really tasty salad. I ate this salad with organic bread, hummus, olives and cheese. 

Ingredients

About 2 cups of baby spinach (or more, however you like) 
1 large tomato, diced
About 1 cup sliced red cabbage
1 can of red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup roasted pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup chopped dates
1/4 cup dried cranberries
Slices of red onion
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Dried Oregano, to taste
Salt, to taste

Directions

1. In a large bowl, add all of the ingredients.
2. Mix well to coat salad with dressing
3. Let marinate in the fridge or on the counter for about 1 1/2 hour.
4. Eat
