Ingredients

1 small garlic clove, halved
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 pound fresh spinach, coarse stems discarded and the leaves washed well and spun dry (about 6 cups packed leaves)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 large egg
1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
1/4 pound chilled blue cheese (preferably Roquefort), cut into 3/4-inch cubes
vegetable oil for frying the cheese cubes

Steps:

In a large bowl with a fork mash the garlic to a paste with the salt, add the vinegar, the Worcestershire sauce, and the olive oil, and combine the dressing well. Add the spinach to the dressing and toss the salad well.
Have ready in separate bowls the flour, the egg, beaten lightly, and the bread crumbs. Dredge the cheese cubes in the flour, shaking off the excess, coat them thoroughly with the egg, and dredge them in the bread crumbs, patting the crumbs on to help them adhere. In a saucepan heat 2 inches of the vegetable oil to 350°F. on a deep-fat thermometer and in it fry the cheese cubes in batches for 45 seconds, or until they are golden, transferring them as they are fried with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Divide the spinach salad between 2 bowls and top it with the fried cheese.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I'll have to find a substitute for the walnuts.

I'm not a fan of blue cheese, so I'll probably skip this recipe.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. You can make the dressing and fry the blue cheese ahead of time and then just assemble the salad when you're ready to serve.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The sweetness of the dressing pairs perfectly with the salty blue cheese and the bitterness of the spinach.

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

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of blue cheese. But I'm so glad I did! The fried blue cheese was amazing and it paired perfectly with the spinach and dressing.
