Directions
Slice onion and let sit for at least 5 minutes to bring out its health-promoting properties.
Marinate sliced onion in 2 tablespoons white wine or apple cider vinegar and hot water for 10 minutes while preparing rest of ingredients.
Rinse and dry baby spinach.
If you have a salad spinner that is best, otherwise, dry with paper towels.
This will avoid dressing getting diluted.
Whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, salt and pepper, drizzling in the olive oil a little at a time at the end.
Toss with rest of ingredients and serve.
