Spinach, Apple and Pecan Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette
Toasted pecans add an interesting flavor to fresh spinach leaves in the easy salad recipe. The sweetness of the apple is offset by the tartness of the vinaigrette. Recipe can be found in At Home in the Kitchen on page 50
There are many ways to combine the ingredients for totally emulsified vinaigrette. This recipe suggests whisking the ingredients in a bowl. Others ask you to use a food processor. Either method is acceptable. Just remember to add the oil at the end, in a small slow stream in order to thoroughly incorporate it into the dressing.
Toasting nuts is a great way to bring out their flavor. For another look a toasting take a peek at Orange Marinated Grouper with Toasted Almond Sauce.
Susie B. says, "I love the ingredients, especially the toasted pecans. I tried reducing the orange juice (not my preference) and adding a touch of Balsamic vinegar. It was a nice combination."
