SPINACH AND MUSHROOM SALAD RECIPE
This is a delicious recipe we have had for dinner several times. It's great for the warm summer evenings and it's an easy, but impressive salad for entertaining year round. It's very similar to the mushroom and spinach salad at one of our favorite restaurants, The Melting Pot. This recipe will make 4-6 side salads or a couple of generous entre salads. Adjust the seasonings to your taste, but this is the combination we've found to be the best for our family. The key is to use really excellent olive oil and vinegar. But, if you want, you can just use half a cup of your favorite oil and vinegar dressing instead. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Clean the mushrooms by wiping off with a damp kitchen towel or paper towels and then slice them
- Marinate the mushrooms in the oil and vinegar (or dressing) for one hour or until you are ready to serve the salad. If they are going to marinate for longer than an hour, I reserve some of the dressing back to toss with the spinach just before serving (mushrooms tend to soak up the dressing).
- To serve, toss the ingredients in a salad bowl and serve on salad plates.

ZESTY SHRIMP AND SPINACH POLENTA BAKE RECIPE BY TASTY
Here's what you need: shrimp, olive oil, McCormick® Zesty Spice Blend, grape tomatoes, chicken broth, heavy cream, medium-grind polenta, grated parmesan cheese, unsalted butter, baby spinach

Categories Dinner

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons McCormick® Zesty Spice Blend until well coated.
- Heat a 9-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches of 5-6, cook the shrimp for 45 seconds on each side, until starting to turn golden and opaque. Transfer to a clean medium bowl and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
- Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil, remaining tablespoon McCormick® Zesty Spice Blend, and the tomatoes to the bowl with the shrimp and toss to combine.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and wipe out any crispy bits. Let the skillet cool for about 10 minutes.
- Return the skillet to medium heat and add the chicken broth and cream, whisking to combine. Cook until the liquid begins to steam, about 5 minutes.
- Slowly pour in the polenta, whisking well to prevent clumps from forming. Cook for 12-15 minutes, until the polenta is thick and the grains are tender, whisking constantly to prevent the polenta at the bottom of the pan from burning or clumping. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Whisk in the Parmesan cheese and butter, then fold in the spinach. It will wilt from the residual heat.
- Set an oven rack 3 inches from the broiler and turn the broiler on high.
- Arrange the shrimp on top of the polenta in the pan and top with the tomatoes and any remaining marinade from the bowl.
- Broil the skillet for 3 minutes, checking occasionally to avoid burning, until the polenta is golden brown and the tomatoes soften.
- Enjoy!

- Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, or bell peppers. You can also add a protein source, such as grilled chicken or tofu.
- For a lighter dressing, use a mixture of olive oil and lemon juice instead of mayonnaise.
- Serve the salad immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
