Spinach And Mushroom Salad 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:

• 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:

• Remove the stems from the spinach and wash, drain and pat dry thoroughly. Place into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
• Place the eggs into an electric kettle and cover with cold water by at least 1-inch. Turn the kettle on. Once the water comes to a boil, the kettle will turn itself off. Leave the eggs in the water for 15 minutes. Remove and peel off the shell. Slice each egg into 8 pieces and set aside.
• While the eggs are cooking, fry the bacon and remove to a paper towel to drain, reserving 3 tablespoons of the rendered fat. Crumble the bacon and set aside.
• Transfer the fat to a small saucepan set over low heat and whisk in the red wine vinegar, sugar and Dijon mustard. Season with a small pinch each of kosher salt and black pepper.
• Add the mushrooms and the sliced onion to the spinach and toss. Add the dressing and bacon and toss to combine. Divide the spinach between 4 plates or bowls and evenly divide the egg among them. Season with pepper, as desired. Serve immediately.

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.
• Top salad with mushrooms and bacon, garnish with egg.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss bread with 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Bake, tossing occasionally, until toasted, 4 to 6 minutes. (To store, keep croutons in a resealable bag, up to 1 week.)
• In a large bowl, whisk together remaining oil, vinegar, and Dijon; season with salt and pepper. (To store, refrigerate dressing, up to 1 week.)
• Toss mushrooms with dressing; let stand 5 minutes. Add spinach, onion, and croutons to bowl; toss, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Turn on a toaster oven to broil, or use a regular oven.
• Wash and slice mushrooms, and broil until they soften, about 7 minutes.
• Wash spinach, remove tough stems, break into small pieces and dry.
• In a serving bowl, mix the soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, and then thoroughly stir the spinach and the mushrooms into the mixture. Serve.

Steps:

• Clean the mushrooms by wiping off with a damp kitchen towel or paper towels and then slice them
• Marinate the mushrooms in the oil and vinegar (or dressing) for one hour or until you are ready to serve the salad. If they are going to marinate for longer than an hour, I reserve some of the dressing back to toss with the spinach just before serving (mushrooms tend to soak up the dressing).
• To serve, toss the ingredients in a salad bowl and serve on salad plates.

Steps:

• Toss spinach leaves with mushrooms and onions in large salad bowl; set aside.
• Mix dressing and walnuts in microwavable measuring cup. Microwave on HIGH 30 seconds or until warmed; stir.
• Pour over spinach mixture; toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss together mushrooms, shallots, garlic and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and spread in an even layer. Roast until golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add spinach to the sheet pan, toss with mushrooms, and roast until wilted, about 5 minutes, turning once after 2 or 3 minutes and drizzling with a bit of olive oil if the mixture seems dry. Taste, and adjust seasoning. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Mix together the vinegar and lemon juice with the garlic, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard using a fork or a small whisk. Whisk in the olive oil and the yogurt or buttermilk if using. Set aside.
• Combine the spinach, nuts, celery, and goat cheese in a salad bowl.
• Heat a pan over medium high heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil and when very hot, add the mushrooms. Shake the pan once, then let the mushrooms cook without moving them around until they begin to sweat and soften (watch closely). After about a minute or two, when they have begun to sear and release moisture, you can move them around in the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes, season to taste with salt and pepper and remove from the heat. Add to the spinach mixture and toss with the dressing. Serve at once.

Steps:

• Place the quinoa in a strainer and rinse several times with cold water. Place in a medium saucepan with 1 1/4 cups water and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer 15 minutes, until the grains display a threadlike spiral and the water is absorbed. Remove from the heat, remove the lid and place a dish towel over the pan, then return the lid to the pan and let sit for 10 minutes or longer undisturbed. Transfer to a salad bowl and fluff with forks. Allow to cool.
• Add the spinach, mushrooms, walnuts, parsley and optional cheese to the bowl. Whisk together the dressing ingredients and toss with the salad just before serving.
