Time 45m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lemons, thinly sliced
2 cups water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, roasted, peeled and chopped
1/4 pound pancetta, cut into small dice
4 cups steamed spinach
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the sliced lemons, water, sugar and salt in a saucepan. Simmer until the lemons are tender, about 20 minutes. Put the lemons, their liquid and garlic in a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth. Transfer to a large glass or ceramic bowl. Set aside.
  • Render the pancetta in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat until golden brown. Using a slotted spoon, take the pancetta out of the pan and drain on paper towels. Pour out all but 1 tablespoon of the fat. Add the spinach to the skillet. Saute over high heat until the spinach is warmed, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach to the lemon sauce and toss. Season with pepper.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really oily. I think I may have used too much dressing.

I was disappointed with this salad. The dressing was bland and the spinach was wilted.

I'm not sure I would make this salad again. The dressing was a bit too spicy for my taste.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I used a milder vinegar in the dressing. It turned out great!

This salad is a great make-ahead meal. You can make the dressing and chop the vegetables ahead of time.

This salad is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The spinach is fresh and crisp, the dressing is tangy and flavorful, and the almonds add a nice crunch. I especially enjoyed the contrast between the warm dressing and the cool spinach.
