Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Onions

    Thinly slice the red onion and place it in a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Toss well to combine, then let it sit for at least 30 minutes to marinate.

  2. 2

    Infuse the Grapes

    In a separate bowl, combine the seedless grapes and champagne. Allow the grapes to soak for about 30 minutes to absorb the champagne flavor.

  3. 3

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, add the fresh spinach. Drain the marinated onions and sprinkle them over the spinach. Add the champagne-infused grapes and crumbled goat cheese. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the top and toss gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Divide the salad into serving plates and enjoy immediately.
