Time 20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 cups torn washed fresh spinach leaves (from 10-ounce bag), stems removed
4 medium seedless oranges
Orange juice
1/3 cup honey
3 tablespoons raspberry vinegar
2 tablespoons canola or soybean oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 medium red onion, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices

Steps:

  • Arrange spinach on serving platter or individual serving plates.
  • Peel off eight 2 1/2x2-inch strips of orange peel with vegetable peeler, being careful to remove only orange part. Cut strips lengthwise into thin slivers.
  • Cut remaining peel and white pith from oranges with sharp knife. Remove segments of orange by cutting between membranes, catching juice in small bowl; set orange segments aside. Squeeze membranes of oranges into bowl to remove all of juice; if necessary, add orange juice to make 1/2 cup. Beat in honey, vinegar, oil and salt with wire whisk.
  • Place onion slices in single layer on ungreased cookie sheet; brush with orange juice mixture. Broil 2 to 3 inches from heat 4 to 5 minutes or just until edges begin to darken.
  • Arrange orange segments on spinach. Separate onion slices into rings; scatter over oranges. Drizzle with remaining orange juice mixture; garnish with strips of orange peel.

This salad was a bit too tart for my taste. I think I'll use less orange juice next time.

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but this salad changed my mind. The orange and red onion really balance out the flavor of the spinach.

This salad is the perfect way to use up leftover spinach. I always have a bunch of spinach in my fridge, and this is a great way to use it up before it goes bad.
