This vibrant wilted spinach salad offers a sophisticated twist on a classic green starter. By combining crisp, fresh spinach with deeply caramelised red onions and a warm, tangy dressing, you create a dish that is both comforting and refreshing. The star of the show is the salty feta cheese, which softens in the residual heat of the frying pan to create a rich, creamy coating that perfectly balances the acidity of the sherry vinegar.

As a versatile vegetarian dish, this salad works equally well as a light lunch or a stylish side to accompany roasted Mediterranean vegetables or grilled flatbreads. It is a fantastic way to enjoy seasonal greens, providing a nutritious hit of iron and antioxidants while feeling more substantial than a standard garden salad. Serve it immediately while the dressing is still warm for the best texture and flavour.
