Spiriteds, this Caper Spinach Salad is so simple to make, I almost didn’t even consider an actual recipe. And certainly not one I would put on the blog. Except I ate it almost every day last week for lunch, and I realized everyone needs to know about this no-fuss, 4-ingredient salad recipe.

Why is it so great? Because the egg yolk, juice from the capers, and the olive oil form what becomes the dressing for this salad. Tangy, rich, and creamy! Could it be easier or tastier or better than that? I think not. So let’s get a salad bowl and DO THIS!

CAPER SPINACH SALAD INGREDIENTS

The short ingredient list belies just how flavorful this briny, tangy salad is!

Capers. A few teaspoonfuls, if you’re feeling mild, or a few tablespoonfuls, if you’re feeling spicy! Don’t worry about draining them. The extra juicy that will inevitably get on the salad blends nicely with the egg yolk and olive oil for a dressing-like consistency.
Hard-boiled egg. My favorite way to make hard-boiled eggs is to steam them for about 15 minutes and then chill them in an ice water bath for another 10 minutes. Works like a charm!
Olive oil. Drizzle to taste.
Fresh spinach. A few handfuls.

HOW TO MAKE CAPER SPINACH SALAD

The process for making Caper Spinach Salad is super-easy. Amounts of each ingredient are to taste.

Place the fresh spinach on a large plate or a deep bowl.
Sprinkle on or stir in the chopped egg. Scoop the capers out of their jar, along with a little of the caper juice, and sprinkle them over the top of the salad.
Drizzle olive oil over the salad ingredients and serve immediately.
