Super Spinach Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the baby spinach, red bell pepper, and Parmesan cheese.
• In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and rice vinegar. Toss with the baby spinach mixture, and serve.

Steps:

• In a large salad bowl, combine the spinach, mushrooms, eggs and bacon. Drizzle with vinaigrette; toss to coat.

Steps:

• Puree first 7 ingredients in blender or processor until smooth and emulsified. Set dressing aside.
• Cook bacon in heavy medium skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain bacon on paper towels. Crumble. Combine spinach and remaining ingredients in large bowl. Add enough dressing to season to taste. Toss well. Garnish salad with bacon and serve.

Steps:

• Combine 1/4 cup juice with the sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small nonstick skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the walnuts and continue to cook, stirring, until the nuts are coated and dark and the liquid evaporates in the skillet, about another 5 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet to cool. When cool, break apart with your hands.
• Meanwhile, soak the red onion in ice water for about 10 minutes; drain and pat dry. Place the baby spinach in a serving bowl and top with the onions, mushrooms, tomatoes and walnuts. In a bowl whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons juice with the vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and then whisk in the oil. Drizzle over the salad and toss just before serving.

Steps:

• Mix greens; divide among salad plates.
• Top each serving with bacon bits, red onion, grated cheese and mushrooms, if desired. (You can combine it all in a large bowl if necessary. But the 'goodies' get distributed a lot better if you treat each serving separately.).
• Combine all dressing ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake well to combine.
• Taste and adjust amount of sugar if needed.
• Pour a small amount of dressing over each individual salad, serving additional dressing on the side.
• Stir dressing well before each use, as the sugar tends to sink to the bottom.
