Frank's thread on the DUmmies spinach thread reminded me of a salad I like to make.
1 bag washed spinach.
1C walnut halves (shelled, of course!)
Crumbled goat cheese
Dried currents
Apple slices (1-2 apples, your choice)
Lite House Walnut Raspberry salad dressing. (available at Safeway)
First core the apples and slice into thin sections. Then soak them in lemon juice(wont brown).
While the apples soak, heat a pan on med for the walnuts. Put the walnuts in the pan with a small ammount of oil/butter and S & P. Fry until they begin to crisp. Turn down the heat and add a TBL of light brown sugar. Toss the walnuts until the sugar melts, but dosen't burn, and coats the nuts. Take off the heat and let cool.
Assemble the salad with the spinach, apple slices, walnuts, and currents. Drizzle the dressing on and add the cheese.
It's one of our favs.
