Last week I purchased a bunch of fresh spinach for salad;
but, as I was putting my groceries away this week, I found that week old
spinach in the back of my refrigerator. It was limp and lifeless. As you know, I hate to throw away food, so I thought I would try the old celery trick with the
spinach. I cut the ends off and put the bunch into a tall glass of water.
Within two hours my spinach looked good as new. With this food waste crisis
averted, I proceeded to make salad with my refreshed spinach.
This Balsamic Dressing is perfect for spinach salad. We like
ours topped with chopped apples, walnuts, and blue cheese.
Balsamic Dressing
¼ cup olive oil
2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp. raspberry or strawberry jam
¼ tsp. onion powder
¼ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. ground black pepper
Whisk all ingredients together and serve over salad.

That's a great idea. I bet it would work with most hardy lettuces.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh!!! I have been looking for a balsamic dressing recipe for forever. Thanks for the great tip! :)
ReplyDeleteI tried a dozen balsamic dressings before I landed on this one. I hope that you like it as much as we do!
