Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 anchovy fillets
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 large slices sourdough bread, crusts trimmed, torn into bite-size pieces
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese (about 1 ounce)
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
8 cups baby spinach (about 5 ounces)
1 small head red-leaf lettuce, torn (about 6 cups)
1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Soak the red onion in a small bowl of ice water, about 30 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
  • Meanwhile, make the croutons: Mash the anchovies with a fork. Combine the olive oil, mashed anchovies, 1 grated garlic clove and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Let stand 5 minutes. Add the torn bread and toss with your hands until the bread absorbs the oil. Spread on a baking sheet and bake, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool.
  • Whisk the buttermilk, sour cream, blue cheese, vinegar, parsley, the remaining grated garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl until combined. Add the spinach, lettuce, cucumber, red onion and croutons; toss well.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover spinach. It's also a great side dish for grilled chicken or fish.
