Instead, you can direct your applause and accolades (seriously, it\u2019s that good) to my sister Elaine, who made this for lunch when I visited.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This salad was so delicious, I immediately grabbed the recipe from her. When she made it, she left out the red onion, but I think it adds a nice bite. I\u2019ll leave it up to you!<\/p>\n<p>The other revelation? Making candied pecans is SO easy! I didn\u2019t realize it wasn\u2019t a <em>big process<\/em> (because the last thing we want when making a salad is a <em>big process<\/em>) and those extra few minutes are 100% worth it. Lately when I make this, I do double the candied pecans and then save the extras for salads, Yogurt Parfaits and snacking throughout the week!<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s break down what makes this salad a big win:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Perfect Balance of Textures<\/strong>. I think texture is equal to flavor when it comes to putting together a successful salad and this spinach salad has it down pat! Spinach leaves are more tender than other greens, making them the perfect foil to crunchy pecans and crisp apple.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Those Pecans, Though<\/strong>. What really makes this salad special is the maple-candied pecans. They take only a few minutes on the stovetop, but they transform the whole salad into something that feels restaurant-worthy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>An Easy Side Salad<\/strong>. I love my Arugula Salad when I\u2019m looking for a simple side to serve with something like Baked Chicken Thighs, and this spinach salad has joined its ranks as a goes-with-anything, comes-together-in-minutes side option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellplated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Spinach-Salad.jpg\" alt=\"Spinach salad in bowl with sliced apples, red onion, and candied pecans.\" class=\"wp-image-178900\" \/><\/figure>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-default\" id=\"h-key-ingredients\">Key Ingredients<\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ll find the full list of ingredients in the recipe card below, but here are some notes to keep in mind.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Baby Spinach<\/strong>. Or use half spinach, half another green like arugula or mixed greens.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pecans<\/strong>. For big crunch, use pecan halves instead of pieces.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maple Syrup<\/strong>. Rather than candying the pecans with sugar, this recipe uses maple syrup which adds flavor in addition to sweetness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Red Onion<\/strong>. Thinly slice them so they don\u2019t overwhelm the flavor of the other ingredients.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Apples<\/strong>. I like a sweet-crisp variety like Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp. You can also use a pear if you\u2019d like. (And when it\u2019s summertime, add this Spinach Strawberry Salad to your menu!)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dressing<\/strong>. You\u2019ll need olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper for this easy salad dressing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-white-background-color has-background\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-spinach-salad\">How to Make Spinach Salad<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-numbered\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"178909\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellplated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/How-to-Make-Spinach-Salad-2-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Maple candied pecans in skillet.\" class=\"wp-image-178909\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-numbered\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"178908\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellplated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/How-to-Make-Spinach-Salad-3-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Candied pecans spread onto parchment-lined pan.\" class=\"wp-image-178908\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-numbered\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"178907\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellplated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/How-to-Make-Spinach-Salad-4-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Whisk in liquid measuring cup with balsamic vinaigrette.\" class=\"wp-image-178907\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-numbered\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"178906\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellplated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/How-to-Make-Spinach-Salad-5-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Balsamic vinaigrette added to bowl of sliced apples and red onion.\" class=\"wp-image-178906\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-numbered\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"178903\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellplated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/How-to-Make-Spinach-Salad-8-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Tongs tossing bowl of spinach salad.\" class=\"wp-image-178903\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<p><strong>Candy the Pecans<\/strong> (photo 1).
