SPINACH SALAD WITH CARAMELIZED PECANS



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.

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Freshly cracked black pepper
1 cup pecan halves
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 small shallot, minced

One 5-ounce package pre-washed baby spinach
4 slices bacon, cut into 1/4-inch pieces, fried crisp
4 ounces crumbled blue cheese
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes

Steps:

SPINACH PECAN SALAD

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.
