Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1/4 cubes
- 2 cups of frozen green beans (Haricot verts)
- 4 cups of fresh spinach
- 1/2 small shallot, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup of kalamata olives
- 1 cup of canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup of fresh tomato, cut into bite-sized chunks
- Handful of fennel wisps
Lemon Dressing
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat up some water in a medium-sized saucepan. Once it reaches a boil add the chopped potato. Cook for about 8 minutes and add the frozen green beans. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then strain and rinse with cold water.
- While the potatoes are cooking, make the lemon dressing. Add the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to a small bowl and give it a good stir. It will continue to separate so you’ll need to stir it again right before serving.
- Next, assemble the salads. Add 1 cup of spinach to a large dinner plate. Add some shallots, and then a small pile of chickpeas, kalamata olives, green beans, potatoes, and tomatoes. Add the lemon dressing, sprinkle with fennel wisps, and serve. Easy peasy!
