Spinach And Mushroom Salad With White Bean Toasts Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the spinach, mushrooms and croutons. In a jar with a tight fitting lid, combine oil, vinegar, sugar, lemon juice, salt and pepper; shake well. Drizzle over salad and toss to coat. Sprinkle with bacon.

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high. Toss the mushrooms in a large bowl with the shallot, garlic and 2 tbsp of the oil.
• Drizzle the bread with some olive oil, grill until lightly toasted, then set aside. Grill the mushrooms for 4-5 mins on each side until cooked. Divide the cheese between each of the mushroom cavities, sit the mushrooms on the toast, cheese side up, and put back under the grill and cook until the cheese is melting and bubbly.
• Toss the spinach in the marinade bowl with the remaining oil and season if you want. Serve the spinach topped with the mushroom toasts.

Steps:

• Place water, garlic and spinach in a large skillet. Cook, covered, over medium heat just until tender, 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in remaining ingredients; heat through.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first 12 ingredients; mix well. Add mushrooms and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Just before serving, toss the spinach and mushroom mixture in a salad bowl.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Crumble and set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons bacon fat.
• Place eggs in a saucepan and cover completely with cold water. Bring water to a boil. Cover, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel and cut in wedges.
• Return 2 tablespoons bacon fat to skillet, stir in sugar, vinegar, water and salt. Keep warm.
• Wash and remove stems from spinach, dry thoroughly and break into pieces in salad bowl. Pour warm dressing over and toss until coated.

Steps:

• Make croutons: Preheat oven to 350. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss bread with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Bake, tossing occasionally, until bread is golden, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice and remaining oil; season with salt and pepper. Add spinach, mushrooms, and croutons; toss gently, and top with Parmesan.

Steps:

• 1. To quick-soak the beans: Place the beans in a large pot with water to cover by 3 inches and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 45 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain, and rinse.
• 2. To cook the beans: Place the beans in a large pot and add enough water to cover by 3 to 4 inches. Bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer, uncovered, 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until beans are tender but still firm. Drain and rinse the beans thoroughly. Set aside to cool.
• 3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook and stir until slightly brown, about 5 minutes.
• 4. Toss the beans, onion, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella, and olives in a large bowl with the vinaigrette until just combined. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use or up to 1 day. If refrigerating, add the spinach just before serving.
