Berry Spinach Salad with Spicy Maple Sunflower Seeds

Warm a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the sunflower seeds.

Let them warm up, then pour in the maple syrup, a pinch of salt, and cayenne.

Toast the seeds while stirring constantly until most of the maple syrup evaporates and the seeds turn lightly golden on the edges, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.

In a serving bowl, combine the spinach, berries, crumbled goat cheese, and sunflower seeds.

In a small measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients until emulsified.

Just before serving, drizzle in enough vinaigrette to coat the leaves and gently toss. Serve immediately.
