Spinach Salad with Sweet Pointed Pepper and Avocado

Spinach Salad with Sweet Pointed Pepper and Avocado

By not-recognizedPublished on 17 March 2022Need a little inspiration for a mid-week meal - we think we've found it.  Pointed peppers, such as Romano, look great sliced in rings and little ones will love how easy they are to pick up and eat! And with a salad, you can adjust ingredients to suit the tastes of adults and kids.  Substitute baby spinach for sweeter leaf such as Dolce Romana or leave out the hazelnuts.  But be sure to highlight the start ingredient: Sweet Pointed Peppers!
