Spinach and Pear Salad

• 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 tbsp white wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• Pinch of salt (optional)

Preparation:

Wash and dry spinach and place in large bowl with pear slices. Sprinkle raisins and walnuts on top. Whisk oil, vinegar, lemon and salt and drizzle over salad.
