2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 (5 ounce) package baby spinach
3 plums pitted and thinly sliced
3 ounces Humboldt Fog or other fresh goat cheese crumbled
2 shallots thinly sliced
1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds
The tanginess of Humboldt Fog gives additional flavor to this elegant summer salad. Feel free to substitute other stone fruit like peaches or nectarines for the plums.
In a large serving bowl, whisk together vinegar, salt and pepper.
Gradually whisk in oil until vinaigrette thickens.
Add spinach, plums, cheese, shallots and almonds and toss gently until evenly coated.
