_Sips wine_ Ladies (and gents), let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight snack that won’t have you feeling guilty at 2 AM. This crispy, tangy, and slightly sweet salad is perfect for those late-night cravings when you want something light but satisfying.
Trust me, I’ve had my fair share of midnight munchies, and this recipe has saved me from demolishing an entire bag of chips more times than I care to admit! 😉
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 2 cups baby spinach (fresh, not that sad wilted stuff hiding in your fridge)
– 1/2 crisp apple, thinly sliced
– 2 tablespoons candied pecans (store-bought is fine, we’re not judging!)
– 2 tablespoons crumbled feta
– 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
– A drizzle of balsamic glaze
– Optional: 1 tablespoon honey
Honey, this is so easy to throw together, you could do it with your eyes closed (but please don’t, safety first! 😄)
Instructions:
1. Grab your cutest bowl (presentation matters, even at midnight!)
2. Toss in that fresh spinach
3. Layer those gorgeous apple slices
4. Sprinkle your candied pecans like you’re a food fairy
5. Add the feta (be generous, you deserve it!)
6. Toss in those cranberries
7. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and honey
Seriously, this combination is to die for! The sweet and salty mix will have your taste buds doing the happy dance. 💃
