WARM SPINACH AND BASIL SALAD image

Categories     Salad     Vegetable     Side     No-Cook     Healthy     Christmas Eve

Yield 4 People

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients:
6 Cups Spinach
2 Cups Fresh Basil
1/2 Cup Olive Oil
3 Cloves Finely Chopped or Minced Garlic
1/2 Cup Pine Nuts
3/4 Cup Diced Prosciutto (Ham also works nicely.)
3/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese

Steps:

  • Directions: To get started, wash, rinse, and drain 6 cups of spinach and 2 cups of fresh basil leaves. I always remove any stems and tear larger leaves in half. Toss the prepared spinach and basil in a bowl and set it aside. In a skillet, combine 1/2 cup of olive oil with 3 cloves of finely chopped or minced garlic and a 1/2 cup of pine nuts. Stirring constantly, sauté these ingredients over a medium heat for a few minutes and then add 3/4 of a cup of diced prosciutto or thinly sliced, cooked ham. Continue to sauté until pine nuts are a nice toasty brown and the prosciutto is heated through. Pine nuts tend to burn easily so it should take only a few minutes. Pour this hot mixture over the salad greens and toss.
