Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bunch spinach, washed and stemmed (or one package pre-washed baby spinach)
1 purple onion, sliced into rings
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
16 kalamata olives, pitted if desired
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a non-stick skillet, add olive oil, onion, feta cheese and olives. Saute until onions soften and cheese begins to melt.
  • Add vinegar and remove from heat. Immediately add spinach, turning the spinach with tongs so that it gets evenly coated with dressing in pan (when it begins to wilt it shrinks like crazy).
  • Divide salad between four plates, doing your best to evenly distribute onions and olives.
  • Grind black pepper over the top and serve immediately.

SPINACH SALAD WITH POTATOES, OLIVES & FETA RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Spinach Salad with Potatoes, Olives & Feta Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Chezlamere

Number Of Ingredients 15

12 cups baby spinach
2 red potatoes, cut into a 1/4-inch dice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red onion, finely chopped
1 cup green beans, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/3 cup kalamata olives, halved
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon creamy Dijon mustard
1/4 cup fresh basil
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Wash the spinach and put it in a large salad bowl. In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring once or twice, until they begin to brown, about 5-8 minutes. Reduce heat to low and cook another 4-5 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through. Add the onion and green beans to the pan; cook 5 minutes. Pour the warm vegetables onto the spinach. Let the salad sit while you make the vinaigrette (the spinach will wilt very slightly.) Add half the tomatoes, feta, olives, and half of the basil vinaigrette. Toss to combine. Serve the salad with the remaining vinaigrette. VINAIGRETTE: Add the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, and basil to a blender. Cover and blend on medium speed for about 5 seconds (just to break up the basil). With the blender running, drizzle in the olive oil. Blend until the dressing is smooth, 15-20 seconds. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh spinach leaves. If you can't find fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach that has been thawed and squeezed dry.
  • Use a variety of potatoes for a more flavorful salad. Red potatoes, Yukon Gold potatoes, and fingerling potatoes are all good choices.
  • Roast the potatoes until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This will give them a nice flavor and texture.
  • Use a good quality feta cheese. Feta cheese that is made from sheep's milk or goat's milk will have a more flavorful taste.
  • Add the olives and feta cheese to the salad just before serving. This will prevent the olives from becoming too salty and the feta cheese from becoming too dry.

Conclusion:

Spinach salad with potatoes, olives, and feta is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a light lunch or a hearty dinner, this salad is sure to please.
