Description: I really enjoy winter salads.
This one has lots of healthy additions and it fills you up quickly. It
is nice to have something different than a plane old carrot, celery, and
cucumber salad. If I have dried cherries or raisins on hand I also add
those. To make a complete meal add in some shredded turkey or chicken.
Ingredients:
1 Tbs butter
3/4 cup almonds, blanched and slivered
1 pound spinach, rinsed and torn into bite-size pieces
1 cup dried cranberries
2 tbs toasted sesame seeds
1 Tbs poppy seeds
8 oz of feta cheese
1 Tbs sugar
2 tsp minced onion
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Cook and stir almonds in butter until lightly toasted. Remove from heat, and let cool.
In a large bowl, combine the spinach with the toasted almonds, feta, and cranberries.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, sugar, onion, paprika, white wine vinegar, cider vinegar, and olive oil. Toss with spinach just before serving.
