Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spinach

    Rinse the fresh spinach leaves under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.

  2. 2

    Slice the Mushrooms

    Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them thinly. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Hard Boiled Eggs

    Place the eggs in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover and turn off the heat, letting the eggs sit for 9-12 minutes. Afterward, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool, then peel and slice them.

  4. 4

    Combine the Salad Ingredients

    In a large salad bowl, combine the rinsed spinach leaves, sliced mushrooms, sliced hard boiled eggs, cottage cheese, and croutons.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture in the large bowl and toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.

Serving
