Baby Spinach Salad With Lemon and Parmesan image

I love simple, yet delicious, recipes and this one qualifies for that description. This is perfect for spring and is an excellent recipe for low-carbers. Be sure to use very fresh baby spinach for this salad. I found this in the Chicago Trib's 'Good Eating' section and they give credit to "The Modern Vegetarian Kitchen" by Peter Berley and Melissa Clark.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, halved
6 ounces very fresh Baby Spinach
1 chunk parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon coarse salt (I used Kosher salt)
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the lemon juice in a small bowl; whisking constantly, slowly add the oil in a steady stream, whisking until the vinaigrette is creamy; set aside.
  • Rub the inside of a large bowl with the cut sides of the garlic halves; add the spinach; drizzle with the reserved lemon vinaigrette; toss gently to coat.
  • Divide the salad among 4 plates.
  • Shave the cheese in wide sheets over each salad with a vegetable peeler.
  • Season with salt and pepper and serve.
