  • 5 oz fresh baby spinach
  • 4 oz Old Croc Sharp Cheddar chunked or shaved
  • ¼ red onion sliced thin (soak slices in water for 15 minutes to mellow the flavor)
  • 3 oz jarred roasted red peppers sliced in strips
  • Dressing:
  • ½ tbsp soy sauce
  • ½ tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Directions
