Steps:
- Combine 1/4 cup juice with the sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small nonstick skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the walnuts and continue to cook, stirring, until the nuts are coated and dark and the liquid evaporates in the skillet, about another 5 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet to cool. When cool, break apart with your hands.
- Meanwhile, soak the red onion in ice water for about 10 minutes; drain and pat dry. Place the baby spinach in a serving bowl and top with the onions, mushrooms, tomatoes and walnuts. In a bowl whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons juice with the vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and then whisk in the oil. Drizzle over the salad and toss just before serving.

Steps:
- In a small pot over medium heat, rehydrate figs in vinegar for 1/2 hour. Let this mixture cool, then place in food processor, and pulse until figs are in small pieces. In a medium size bowl, whisk figs and shallots and add 1 1/2 cups olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Sprinkle the triangular toasts with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toast the croutons in the oven. Crumble some of the blue cheese on top of each crouton. Melt the blue cheese on the toast points underneath the broiler.
- While cheese is melting, toss the baby spinach in the fig vinaigrette. Divide the spinach onto 2 plates, add 1/2 the onion slices and 1/2 the toasted pecans. Place 3 hot croutons on each plate.
SUPER SPINACH SALAD
As a rule, everyone in our family strongly prefers savory/spicy dishes over sweet ones. However, this salad is an exception. We all love the sweet poppy seed dressing combined with the saltiness of the bacon and slight tang of red onion. The original recipe, posted at the BH&G website years ago, called for 1-1/4 cups of sugar. I've cut that back drastically, but use your own best judgment based on your family's tastebuds. Number of servings is a guesstimate.

Steps:
- Mix greens; divide among salad plates.
- Top each serving with bacon bits, red onion, grated cheese and mushrooms, if desired. (You can combine it all in a large bowl if necessary. But the 'goodies' get distributed a lot better if you treat each serving separately.).
- Combine all dressing ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake well to combine.
- Taste and adjust amount of sugar if needed.
- Pour a small amount of dressing over each individual salad, serving additional dressing on the side.
- Stir dressing well before each use, as the sugar tends to sink to the bottom.

- Cook bacon in heavy medium skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain bacon on paper towels. Crumble. Combine spinach and remaining ingredients in large bowl. Add enough dressing to season to taste. Toss well. Garnish salad with bacon and serve.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, young spinach leaves. Avoid wilted or bruised leaves.
- Wash the spinach thoroughly before using it. This will help to remove any dirt or grit.
- To make the salad more substantial, add some cooked protein, such as chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
- Feel free to experiment with different toppings and dressings. Some popular options include crumbled bacon, hard-boiled eggs, sliced almonds, and a balsamic vinaigrette.
- If you're making the salad ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just be sure to add the dressing just before serving.

Spinach salad is a healthy and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It's packed with nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate and iron. The combination of sweet spinach, tangy dressing, and crunchy toppings makes this salad a truly satisfying meal.
