SPINACH SALAD

Made this last night - very flavorful dressing. I got this recipe from Cottage Living, 6/2006, and made it with some adjustments. It originally called for 3 tablespoons sesame oil, so if you don't worry about fat intake (and are familiar with the relatively strong taste of sesame oil), go for it. Added a cup of leftover grape tomatoes. Also substituted maple syrup for the honey and I think it worked out well.

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 ounces baby spinach leaves
1 -2 medium carrot (grated or julienned, about 1 cup)
1/2 cucumber, peeled and sliced (seeding optional)
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (white, black, any combination)
1 cup grape tomatoes (optional)
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 -3 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon honey or 1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 -2 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Combine all dressing ingredients in a blender, food processor or covered cruet and process or shake well until blended (I let my blender mince garlic I had sliced).
  • Combine salad ingredients except for sesame seeds into a large bowl. Toss well with dressing and sprinkle with sesame seeds to serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh spinach. If you only have access to pre-packaged spinach, be sure to rinse it thoroughly before using.
  • To save time, you can use a pre-made vinaigrette dressing. However, it is easy to make your own dressing using the recipe provided in the article.
  • If you don't have any bacon on hand, you can substitute cooked ham or turkey.
  • This salad is also delicious with sliced hard-boiled eggs or crumbled blue cheese.
  • For a healthier version of this salad, you can use a light vinaigrette dressing and omit the bacon.

Conclusion:

State Fair Spinach Salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of fresh spinach, crispy bacon, sweet red onion, and tangy dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
