WARM MUSHROOM & WILTED SPINACH SALAD



Warm Mushroom & Wilted Spinach Salad image

Growing up we used to have a salad like this all the time, and it was about the only way I would eat spinach. Still love this combination. I think this particular recipe originated from the side of a bag of mushrooms. I have tweaked it over the years because I don't like to cook the spinach, I prefer to just toss the hot hot dressing over the spinach, which just wilts it enough without cooking it. I'm always throwing bread loaf ends into the freezer, this is a good recipe to use some of them in. Toss the final salad with cheese if you like. Beware, your house will smell like vinegar!!

Categories     Spinach

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 lb fresh spinach (washed and dried)
1/4 red onion, very thinly sliced (white or sweet onion is good too)
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
3 slices whole grain bread, any nutty, grainy bread is good
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons grainy mustard
1 lb mushroom, sliced
sea salt
pepper
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional)
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)

Steps:

  • Shred the spinach by hand into a large bowl. Add the sliced onion and red pepper to the spinach.
  • Toast the bread and then cut it into crouton style cubes. Alternatively, you could cut into cubes first and toast it in the oven so they get toasty all over. Do whichever time permits. Add to the spinach.
  • Warm the oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add in the garlic and let it cook for a few minutes, being careful not to burn. Stir in the lemon juice, the oregano, basil and mustard, and finally the mushrooms. Let the mushrooms cook for about 5-7 minutes and adjust the seasoning, adding in freshly ground pepper and a little sea salt. It should taste like hot salad dressing at this point. If you prefer it tangier, add more lemon juice or a little wine vinegar.
  • You should have enough dressing in the pan to fully coat the spinach now, but you can add another tbsp or so of olive oil if you feel like it's not enough. Just make sure it's nice and hot.
  • Toss the hot dressing over the spinach. Toss well so that the spinach wilts. Toss in the parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm & enjoy!

SPINACH, BACON & MUSHROOM SALAD



Spinach, Bacon & Mushroom Salad image

The evening before our oldest son was born, I made a big bowl of this--a friend had told me that spinach was full of Vitamin K, which was supposed to help with nosebleeds (which I'd been having). Even though my water had already broke, I went ahead and ate supper--figuring a first baby would take its time showing up. And I was right---it was almost exactly 24 hours later before he was born. The following year, we had this for his birthday dinner (along with Spaghetti Alla Carbonara--which was "leftovers" for supper the night before he was born). That started a family tradition, so when each of our children was born, we made a note of our dinner menu--so their birthday dinners are very special!

SPINACH AND MUSHROOM SALAD RECIPE



Spinach and Mushroom Salad Recipe image

This is a delicious recipe we have had for dinner several times. It's great for the warm summer evenings and it's an easy, but impressive salad for entertaining year round. It's very similar to the mushroom and spinach salad at one of our favorite restaurants, The Melting Pot. This recipe will make 4-6 side salads or a couple of generous entre salads. Adjust the seasonings to your taste, but this is the combination we've found to be the best for our family. The key is to use really excellent olive oil and vinegar. But, if you want, you can just use half a cup of your favorite oil and vinegar dressing instead. Enjoy!

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 10m

Yield 4-6 side salads, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

9 ounces spinach (baby leaves best)
1/4 lb white mushroom, sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
1/2 cup crisp bacon, crumbled (optional)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 tablespoon white vinegar
1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
salt and pepper
1/2-1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon minced parsley

Steps:

  • Clean the mushrooms by wiping off with a damp kitchen towel or paper towels and then slice them
  • Marinate the mushrooms in the oil and vinegar (or dressing) for one hour or until you are ready to serve the salad. If they are going to marinate for longer than an hour, I reserve some of the dressing back to toss with the spinach just before serving (mushrooms tend to soak up the dressing).
  • To serve, toss the ingredients in a salad bowl and serve on salad plates.

WARM SPINACH SALAD W/ CARAMELIZED ONION, MUSHROOM, FETA AND NUTS



Warm Spinach Salad W/ Caramelized Onion, Mushroom, Feta and Nuts image

An incredible salad. Cook so the spinach just gets warm and coated with the carmalized onion dressing! It smelled and tasted so good, I'm going to have to wait until next time to snap a picture of it. I usually serve this salad with some sort of white fish and other veggie as a main course. It may seem like a lot of butter, but it's what makes up the dressing and is necessary. I used "I can't believe it's not Butter" to cut the saturated fat in half that real butter would give and it came out great! The idea for this salad came out of a vegetables book in the grocery store and was a real winner!

Provided by Ian Magary

Categories     Spinach

Time 45m

Yield 1 salad, 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tablespoons butter or 4 tablespoons I Can't Believe It's Not Butter® Spread
1 large sweet onions (sliced into thick bite sized pieces) or 2 medium yellow onions (sliced into thick bite sized pieces)
8 -10 large mixed mushrooms (cut in half)
1/2-1 teaspoon anchovy paste (a squirt from the tube about 3/4 inch to 1 inch long)
1 (4 ounce) package feta cheese (crumbled)
1/4-1/2 cup almonds or 1/4-1/2 cup pecans
1 (9 ounce) bag fresh spinach leaves or 5 -6 cups fresh spinach leaves

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a deep frying pan or pot that will eventually be able to handle all the spinach being tossed around in it.
  • Toss in the onions and mushrooms and turn down the heat to medium low / low medium. Allow onions and mushrooms to caramelize for approx 30 minutes until onions are soft, transparent and golden stirring occasionally. This is a prime time to get the main course a cookin! These onions can be made well in advance and then reheated for just the moment you want to serve the salad. If the onions start to dry out with the amount of butter used add a little more. 4 Tbsp Butter worked out for me at the heat I caramelized the onions on.
  • Stir in the squirt of anchovy paste (optional), pine nuts (or nut of choice) and the crumbled feta a little sea salt and black pepper for taste with the caramelized onions and mushrooms. Once these are somewhat warm and melted, carefully fold in the spinach leaves until they're all coated, making sure not to cook too long. We don't want them soggy or wilted, just coated and warm. Serve immediately and enjoy!
