WARM SPINACH AND SAUSAGE SALAD



Warm Spinach and Sausage Salad image

From the February/March 2006 issue of Everyday with Rachael Ray magazine. This is a simple salad that works as a main course for lunch, dinner or even breakfast. The magazine says that runny eggs make a richer dressing, but this salad tastes great with scrambled or hard-boiled eggs. I love the lemon-tang of the dressing.

WARM SPINACH SALAD



Warm Spinach Salad image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     easy, quick, salads and dressings

Time 15m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 tablespoons cooking oil
4 ounces slab bacon, trimmed of rind and finely diced
3/4 pound fresh spinach trimmed of stems, well washed and dried and torn into small pieces
1/4 pound fresh mushrooms, washed and sliced thin
1/3 cup thin-sliced red onion, separated into rings
4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Freshly ground red pepper
1 hard-cooked egg yolk, crumbled

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a skillet and sautee the bacon until the pieces are golden brown. Remove from the heat.
  • Mix spinach, mushrooms and onion in a glass or ceramic bowl. (Do not use wood - it will soak up the warm dressing.)
  • Toss salad ingredients with the vinegar.
  • Reheat the bacon and drippings in the skillet and pour over salad. Toss thoroughly then cover the salad with the overturned skillet for about 30 seconds. Toss again.
  • Season with pepper, crumble sieved hard-cooked egg yolk on the salad and serve.

Tips:

  • Prep the Ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all the ingredients are prepped and measured. This will make the cooking process smoother and quicker.
  • Choose Fresh Spinach: Fresh spinach is essential for this salad. Look for spinach leaves that are deep green and crisp, and avoid leaves that are wilted or yellowing.
  • Cook the Sausage Properly: Cook the sausage over medium heat until it is browned and cooked through. This will ensure that the sausage is flavorful and juicy.
  • Don't Overcook the Spinach: Spinach cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked spinach will become slimy and lose its color and flavor.
  • Use a Quality Balsamic Vinegar: A good quality balsamic vinegar will add a rich and tangy flavor to the salad. Look for a balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years.

Conclusion:

Warm spinach and sausage salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The combination of spinach, sausage, mushrooms, and goat cheese is flavorful and satisfying. This salad is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make a warm spinach and sausage salad that is sure to impress your friends and family.
