HelloFresh’s Bacon, Apple & Cheddar Spinach Salad is a “Ready, Set, Lunch!” special. The total time from start to finish is 15 minutes, so you can make it the morning before a busy day. However, does this meal sacrifice taste for time?
Prep, Cooking and Cleanup
Very few prep steps. Very quick meal. Very little cleanup. This is as close to a “toss it together and go meal” as you can get.
Ingredients & Sauces
Sweet from the apples. Salty from the walnuts and bacon. Bitter from the cranberries and honey Dijon dressing. Everything paired nicely, although I would swap out for another dressing next time.
Taste
The flavor profile was diverse and complex, and each bite tasted different than the next. While it did not take long to prepare, the meal had a variety of balanced flavors.
Rating
HelloFresh’s Bacon, Apple & Cheddar Spinach Salad is a perfect lunch option that you can easily make before work (or for a quick dinner). The ingredients and dressing resulted in many unique flavors, and everything tasted fresh. If you are looking for a quick and tasty meal, this one is worth trying.
