1 (16 ounce) bag fresh spinach, stems removed

This is so simple to make and oh so satisfying. I took this to a dinner party and a friend who hates spinach even asked for the recipe. It is always a hit and disappears in a hurry.

AWESOME SPINACH SALAD



Awesome Spinach Salad image

This recipe was given to me by a lovely lady in my church, Dee Makepeace, who is an amazingly good cook. I'm not much of a salad eater, but this one I like. ALOT! LOL! Now I bring it to potlucks and family get togethers not just because it tastes delicious, but because it is a very pretty salad and makes a great presentation.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large pkg baby spinach
1/2 c shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 c finely chopped onion, i like to use green onions, but dee makepeace used regular white onions
16 oz can of manderin oranges (you can use sliced strawberries, blueberries etc if you like
1/2 c sliced almonds
2-4 Tbsp brown sugar
1/3 c sugar
5 Tbsp vinegar, i like to use apple cider vinegar but dee makepeace used plain white vinegar
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp minced onion
1 1/2 tsp poppy seeds
1 c vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. In small saucepan saute the almonds and the brown sugar until the sugar is melted and almonds are coated nicely with the sugar and set aside. When cool break apart. Watch carefully as can burn very quickly. I like them very sugary so I use the 4 tbs.of sugar but Dee Makepeace's original recipe called for 2 so it's up to you, LOL
  • 2. Layer the spinach, cheese, onion, oranges, and the sugar coated almonds in a large bowl or casserole dish.
  • 3. For the Dressing: Mix in a plastic bowl with a lid so you can shake the container to mix (works best I think)mix together the sugar, vinegar, salt, minced onion, poppy seeds, and the vegetable oil. Shake to mix and drizzle over salad. I never use the whole amount as I don't like heavily dressed salads. I find that there is more than enough dressing to make 2 salads out of it. Also if you are taking this salad somewhere it is best to put the dressing on after you get there or it can look a bit wilty.
