Though this salad was originally meant for mache, baby spinach is an acceptable substitute. The spinach is dressed with a Dijon vinegarette and topped with croutons, lardons of bacon, and hard boiled egg that has been heated in a saute pan.

GREEK-STYLE SPINACH AND EGG TORTELLINI SALAD



Greek-Style Spinach and Egg Tortellini Salad image

I have made this many times to serve to guests in the summer season, it is delicious! You can adjust all amounts to taste and double the recipe to serve more than six. Plan ahead the tortellini needs to chill in the dressing for a minumum of 4 hours or up to 24 hours. Don't be tempted to use more than 1 teaspoon (or less) of fresh garlic, or the garlic flavor will overpower the salad, you can use garlic powder in place of fresh, if you are not a garlic-lover then omit completely, this dressing is good even without the garlic! If you want to serve more dressing on the side, then prepare two separate dressings and use one to marinate the tortellini in and one to serve on the side.

SPINACH AND EGG SALAD



Spinach and Egg Salad image

This Turkish salad is sometimes topped with fried eggs vs. the crumbled boiled egg. Either way, it is a delicious side dish to any meat dish.

Provided by Daily Inspiration S

Categories     Vegetables

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 oz uncooked, washed spinach (stems removed)
1 small red onion
2 tomatoes
small bunch of flat leaf parsley
2 hard boiled eggs
4 oz crumbled turkish feta-type cheese (or you can use feta)
2 Tbsp olive oil
3 tsp lemon juice (more more to taste)
1/2 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Shred the washed spinach leaves in a bowl (if small enough - use whole). Finely slice the red onion, dice the tomatoes, chop the parsley and combine with the spinach leaves.
  • 2. Finely chop the eggs, crumble the cheese and sprinkle over the ingredients in the bowl.
  • 3. Whisk the oil, lemon juice, and salt. Drizzle it over the salad and toss just prior to serving.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, young spinach. Avoid wilted or yellowed leaves.
  • Hard-boil your eggs perfectly by placing them in a single layer in a saucepan and covering them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then remove the pan from the heat and cover it. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, depending on how hard you want them to be. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • To make your salad even more flavorful, add some crumbled bacon, chopped nuts, or diced avocado.
  • If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked bacon or hard-boiled eggs.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Spinach and egg salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and protein, and it's also very easy to make.
