Spinach Side Salad image

Since I was a teenager there was a fabulous spinach salad that I used to always get at The Metropolitan Grill in Seattle. At the time I lived a few hours away and was only able to get to Seattle every month or so...so I improvised and tried to duplicate the salad at home. Nothing beats The Metro but this really is a fantastic salad...goes great with so many different dishes.

Time 15m

Yield 1 salad, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (6 ounce) bag Baby Spinach, rinsed again and dried thoroughly
3 button mushrooms, wiped clean and sliced thinly
1/3 cup mozzarella cheese, freshly grated for best taste and texture
3 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar (or 1 packet splenda...this is what I do)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch black pepper
1 egg, hard boiled, chopped (optional)
1/4 lb bay shrimp (optional)
4 slices bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled (optional)

Steps:

  • For the dressing-in a small bowl whisk the oil,vinegar,salt and pepper, and sugar or splenda all together until everything is disolved.
  • In a large bowl place the spinach in then gently add the mushrooms and the mozerella.
  • Give the dressing one last whisk and pour it over the salad.
  • Gently toss the salad and plate them up.
  • If using the optional ingredients neatly garnish the salads with them now.
  • You can also add a bit of freshly ground black pepper.
  • I try to chill my salad dishes before using them when I have the chance.
