This vibrant spinach salad with dates is a wonderful example of how simple, plant-based ingredients can create a sophisticated balance of flavours. The natural sweetness of the dates pairs beautifully with the earthy notes of fresh flat-leaf spinach, while a zesty lime and date dressing provides a bright, citrusy lift. It is a texturally delightful dish that feels both light and indulgent, making it a perfect choice for a refreshing lunch or a side dish for a weekend dinner.
As a versatile vegan recipe, it focuses on high-quality produce and store-cupboard staples like shallots and vegetable oil. Preparing the shallots until they are golden and crisp adds a savoury crunch that elevates the salad to something truly special. This dish is rich in nutrients and can be assembled in less than fifteen minutes, offering a healthy, homemade option for those seeking a quick yet elegant meal.
