SPINACH AND ROASTED RED PEPPER SALAD WITH HONEY BALSAMIC DRESSIN
From Rachel Ray. It's delicious as it is, but I suppose adding in some mozzarella or provolone cubes, or maybe some toasted macadamia nuts would be good too... For extra ease, I use the large bag of Ready Pac baby spinach leaves.

Steps:
- Preheat grill to high (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grate for just 2 seconds). Lightly brush corn with oil, then season with salt and pepper. Grill corn, turning, until tender and blackened in places, about 8 minutes. Let cool slightly. Stand a cob on end, and carefully cut off kernels with a sharp knife using a downward motion. Repeat with other ear.
- Put vinegar in a small bowl, and add oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly, until emulsified. Combine spinach, onion, and grilled corn in a serving bowl; season with salt and pepper. Toss salad with dressing just before serving.
Tips:
- To save time, use pre-cooked quinoa or rice instead of cooking it from scratch.
- If you don't have a grill, you can roast the peppers in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until they are slightly charred and tender.
- To make the chipotle dressing, you can use either canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce or dried chipotle peppers. If using dried peppers, rehydrate them in hot water for about 30 minutes before using.
- This salad is best served fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This spinach, corn, and roasted pepper salad with chipotle dressing is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. It is packed with fresh vegetables, protein, and healthy fats, and the chipotle dressing adds a smoky and spicy flavor that takes it to the next level.
