Last weekend we took a trip to visit my grandmother, who I haven't seen in a year. We also got to visit with my aunt and cousin, who I haven't seen in almost 4 years, and I met my newest baby cousin Mary Rose for the first time. Saturday night we stayed with Jim's brother and sister-in-law. They sent us home with piles of produce from their garden on Sunday and I made this salad as soon as we got home.
It was a great weekend, capped off by a great meal.
Wilted Spinach Salad
Next time I make this, I plan to add a diced avocado.
8 ounces fresh spinach, washed and torn into bite sized pieces
1/3 cup carrot slices
Place the vegetables in a serving bowl.
dressing
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons minced shallot
1 heaping tablespoon sun dried tomato pieces
1 teaspoon agave nectar
1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper
In a small saucepan, heat all the dressing ingredients and bring to a boil. Immediately pour dressing over the salad vegetables and toss well.
Serves 3.

Very healthy and delicious looking.
ReplyDeleteAre the little orange round thing in your picture carrots? I've never seem them in that shape. The vegetables look so fresh and tasty.
ReplyDeleteYes, they're carrots! Aren't they cute? That's their normal shape.
