Spinach Salad With Caramelized Pecans image

Caramelized pecans make this salad especially good. This is a salad they used to serve at the restaurant one of my son's worked at, Rockbottom Brewery. If you want a salad with a bit more punch, try blue cheese instead of the feta.

Herbed Baked Spinach image

Parmesan cheese and garlic liven up this spinach dish, which goes well with met entrees and main-dish casseroles. Sometimes, I use broccoli as a spinach substitute. It's equally delicious.

SPINACH PECAN SALAD



Spinach Pecan Salad image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 17m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds fresh spinach
1 teaspoon salt
4 scallions, thinly sliced, including about 2 inches of the green part
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 pound salted chopped pecans, toasted

Steps:

  • Wash and dry the spinach until you're absolutely sure it's clean; spinach can hold a lot of grit. When you're sure it's clean and dry, put it in a salad bowl, and sprinkle it with salt, and squeeze the leaves gently with your hands. You'll find that the spinach "deflates," or sort of gets a bit limp and reduces in volume. Add the scallions to the bowl. Pour on the olive oil, and toss the salad thoroughly. Add the lemon juice, and toss again. Top with the pecans, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and texture than frozen spinach. If you are using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it and squeeze out any excess water before using it.
  • Use a variety of nuts. The recipe calls for pecans, but you can use any type of nut that you like. Walnuts, almonds, and hazelnuts would all be great substitutes.
  • Don't overcook the spinach. Spinach only takes a few minutes to cook, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked spinach will be mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dish, so be sure to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar or Parmesan cheese would be a great choice.
  • Serve immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The spinach will start to wilt if it sits for too long.
