My Favorite Spinach Salad Recipes

MY FAVORITE SPINACH SALAD

Steps:

• Mix first 4 ingredients together in a large bowl.
• To prepare dressing, warm wine vinegar slightly.
• Add sugar and stir to dissolve.
• (If you prefer a tangier dressing, reduce the sugar to 2/3 cup.) If you don't warm the vinegar, you will have trouble getting the sugar to dissolve.
• Allow to cool.
• Add onion, paprika and salt.
• Stir well.
• Add olive oil and blend.
• I prefer to put it in a bottle and shake it.
• Pour over salad and enjoy!

APPLE SPINACH SALAD

Steps:

• Combine all of the vinaigrette ingredients together in a bowl and whisk vigorously (or shake them together in a mason jar) to combine.
• Add spinach, apples, red onion, walnuts, dried cranberries, and half of the goat cheese to a large bowl. Drizzle with the vinaigrette, and toss to combine.
• Serve immediately, garnished with the remaining goat cheese, and enjoy!

MY FAVORITE SPINACH SALAD

Steps:

THE BEST SPINACH SALAD EVER

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the slivered almonds onto a baking sheet, and toast until the nuts start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes. Watch the nuts carefully as they bake, because they burn quickly. Once toasted, set the nuts aside to cool to room temperature.
• Mix together the mayonnaise, milk, and sugar in a large salad bowl. Stir in the bacon bits and Parmesan cheese until the dressing is well combined and creamy.
• Place the spinach leaves, chopped cauliflower, and toasted almonds into the salad bowl, and stir lightly to coat with dressing.
