May is known as National Vinegar & National Salad Month, and even though there are only a few days left, we wanted to take advantage of them and celebrate it! Now that the weather has finally warmed up, a nice salad sounds absolutely refreshing – especially since many of us are trying to shed that excess polar vortex weight.
We made a salad with spinach leaves, peppers and cherry tomatoes, and topped it off with a delicious poppy seed dressing, using two of Pompeian Olive Oil’s top-selling products: their Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Pomegranate Infused Red Wine Vinegar. The dressing was a heavenly combination of sweet and tangy, and it was the perfect way to jazz up this salad. There’s no healthier, delightful way to welcome the summer!
