BABY SPINACH SALAD WITH SWISS CHEESE CRISPS



Baby Spinach Salad With Swiss Cheese Crisps image

I love this salad. The dressing is really tasty and easy. Cheese crisps are fun to make, just be careful not to burn them (or your fingers)! You could add other flavors to the cheese crisps, ex. try it with cracked black pepper and chopped thyme or other herbs - add them as the cheese melts. Enjoy!

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups swiss cheese, shredded
12 ounces Baby Spinach, fresh and washed
1 -2 small red apple
1 lemon wedge
3 -4 sprigs fresh thyme, stripped from stems and chopped
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4-1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Over medium-high heat, heat a nonstick skillet. Add the shredded Swiss in small, 1 1/2 inch piles to the hot skillet. When the cheese fries to a light golden color at the edges, about 2 minutes, and can be moved with a thin spatula, flip the cheese rounds and cook another 15 to 30 seconds, then remove from skillet and transfer to plate or rack to cool. Repeat to form 12 to 16 crisps, 3 or 4 per salad.
  • Put the spinach in a bowl. Core and thinly slice the apples then squeeze a wedge of lemon over them to keep them from browning. Toss the apples with the spinach.
  • For the dressing, combine the thyme, Dijon and vinegar with a whisk. Stream in the olive oil while continuing to whisk. Pour over the salad and toss to coat greens and apple evenly. (You may not need to add all of the dressing. Add enough to lightly coat your salad.).
  • Transfer the salads to plates and top with the Swiss crisps.
