SPINACH SALAD WITH WARM CRANBERRY VINAIGRETTE



Spinach Salad With Warm Cranberry Vinaigrette image

I heard this recipe described on the Daily Dish by Annie Copps, senior food editor at Yankee Magazine. It sounded so good, I had to try it. It's become one of our favorite salads.

Provided by WorkingMom2three

Categories     Spinach

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 red onion, sliced into thin rings
2 tablespoons olive oil
kosher salt or sea salt
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 (6 ounce) package Baby Spinach, washed and dried
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds, shelled and lightly toasted (pepitas)
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1 small garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons cranberry juice
2 teaspoons honey
1/2 cup walnut oil

Steps:

  • In a medium pan over medium-high heat, saute onion in oil until softened and slightly carmelized, about 10 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • While onions are cooking, combine vinegar, mustard, mustard powder, salt, pepper, garlic, cranberry juice, and honey.
  • Toast pumpkin seeds lightly.
  • Add vinaigrette and dried cranberries to onions and heat through.
  • Place spinach in a salad bowl (note: I usually can only find 7oz packages of spinach), pour warmed vinaigrette mixture over salad, add pumpkin seeds, and toss lightly. Serve immediately.
  • Notes: this makes more than 4 servings, but the original recipe said 4. Once I didn't have any cranberry juice, so I used jellied cranberry, and it was fine - the dressing was a little thicker, but still very good!
