Yield Serves 2 (first course) or 4 (side dish)

Number Of Ingredients 12

For balsamic vinaigrette
1 garlic clove, minced
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon honey
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
For salad
1/4 cup pine nuts
2 oz sliced pancetta (Italian unsmoked cured bacon), chopped
1 lb red cabbage, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 (5-oz) bag baby spinach, any tough stems discarded

Steps:

  • Make vinaigrette:
  • Mash garlic with salt to a paste. Whisk together garlic paste, mustard, honey, and vinegar, then add oil in a stream, whisking until emulsified.
  • Make salad:
  • Toast pine nuts in a dry large heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until beginning to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Add pancetta and cook until browned and crisp, about 2 minutes. Add cabbage, tossing to combine, and cook, covered, until wilted and just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add spinach, stirring gently until it just begins to wilt. Remove pan from heat. Add vinaigrette and toss.
  • Serve immediately.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The red cabbage, warm spinach, and goat cheese are a perfect match. I also love the addition of the walnuts and cranberries. They add a nice crunch and sweetness to the salad.

This salad was a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a sweeter dressing.
