Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons pomegranate juice
1 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
One 5-ounce container baby spinach
4 ounces white button mushrooms, trimmed and thinly sliced, about 1 cup
3/4 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon good quality extra virgin olive oil

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.

1 cup dried calymyra figs, stem cut off and quartered
1 1/2 cups champagne vinegar
1/4 cup diced shallots
1 1/2 cups good quality olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Salt and pepper
3 slices thinly sliced white bread, crusts removed, and halved diagonally, making 2 triangles

1/2 cup pecans, toasted in a 300 degree F oven for 7 minutes
1 large bunch (about 4 cups) baby spinach

SUPER SPINACH SALAD



Super Spinach Salad image

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.

Time 15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 bunch fresh spinach, cleaned and stems removed
1 head red leaf lettuce, cleaned and torn into bite-size pieces
1 red onion, peeled and sliced thinly
1/2 lb bacon, chopped and fried until crisp
1 1/2-2 cups swiss cheese, grated
8 ounces fresh button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced (optional)
2/3 cup white vinegar
1 cup oil
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
3 green onions, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons poppy seeds
2 teaspoons dry mustard (may substitute plain yellow mustard)

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.
