Spinach Salad with Heirloom Cherry Tomato, Red Onion, Sunflower Seeds and a Citrus Vinaigrette

Dinner time! We are trying to eat through all the leftover bits in our fridge before we go camping next week. I also have a basil plant I am trying to 'eat up' before we go, so I decided that whatever we had for dinner should have pesto on it. I decided on a hamburger topped with pesto and the white cheese blend from the pizza I made before. 


The salad was slightly inspired by a recipe, and also slightly inspired by whatever I could find in the bottom of my fridge. Hence, I give you...
