SPINACH STRAWBERRY SALAD



Spinach Strawberry Salad image

The best ever Spinach Strawberry Salad with balsamic poppy seed dressing, pecans, and feta. Beautiful, healthy, and always a crowd pleaser!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Salad

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup raw pecans
1/2 small red onion (very thinly sliced)
10 ounces fresh baby spinach (I also love a 50/50 arugula and spinach blend)
1 quart strawberries (hulled and quartered (about 1 pound))
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (buy the block-style feta, not pre-crumbled; the texture is much better)
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons poppy seeds
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Toast the pecans: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the pecans in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the pecans smell fragrant and the center of a pecan is tan when the pecan is broken in half. (Do not walk away from the oven in the last few minutes of cooking. This is when nuts love to burn.) Transfer to a cutting board and roughly chop.
  • Place the sliced onions in a bowl and cover with cold water. Let sit while you prepare the rest of the salad (this keeps their flavor but removes the harsh onion bite).
  • Prepare the dressing: In small mixing bowl or large liquid measuring cup, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients-vinegar, oil, poppy seeds, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper-until well combined. (Alternatively, you can shake the ingredients together in a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid).
  • Assemble the salad: Place the spinach in a great big serving bowl. Add the strawberries. Drain the red onion and add it as well. Drizzle about half of the dressing over the salad and toss to coat the leaves. Assess the amount of dressing. You want the spinach leaves to be nicely moistened but not swimming in dressing. Add a little more if needed to suit your preferences. Add the feta and pecans. Toss lightly to combine. Serve immediately, with extra dressing on the side as desired.

SPINACH AND TOFU SALAD



Spinach and Tofu Salad image

Here's a spinach salad that takes cues from Japan and is hearty enough to be a main course. Try to find crisp, medium curly-leaf spinach, which will hold up when dressed. (Baby spinach leaves will surely wilt.) Other sturdy greens - such as mizuna, curly endive or Napa cabbage - can stand in for spinach, or you can combine several kinds of greens.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, lunch, salads and dressings, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1/2 pound firm tofu
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sake
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon grated ginger
Pinch of cayenne
8 ounces medium spinach leaves
2 tablespoons lime or lemon juice
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons white or red miso
1/2 teaspoon grated garlic (from about 2 to 3 cloves)
1 teaspoon grated ginger (from a peeled 1-inch piece)
1 cup chopped cucumber
1 cup thinly sliced daikon radish
1 cup frozen edamame, thawed
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons roasted peanuts
Pinch of kosher salt or flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Slice tofu into 1-inch-by-2-inch pieces about 1/4-inch thick and place in a deep bowl or on a platter.
  • Make the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, sake, brown sugar, ginger and cayenne. Pour marinade over tofu slices to coat well. Leave in marinade for at least 15 minutes. (You may marinate the tofu up to 24 hours in advance.)
  • While the tofu marinates, pick over spinach leaves and remove any tough stems. Swish the spinach in a deep bowl of cold water. Lift leaves from water into a colander. If you see any sand in the water, repeat up to 3 times, using fresh water each time. Drain well and dry spinach, then wrap in a kitchen towel and refrigerate until ready to use. (You may wash the spinach up to 24 hours in advance.)
  • Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, brown sugar, sesame oil, vegetable oil, soy sauce, miso, garlic and ginger.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and arrange the tofu pieces in a single layer. Spoon remaining marinade over tofu. Bake, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes, until slightly crisped. Remove and leave at room temperature.
  • To make the salad, arrange spinach in a low, wide salad bowl or on a deep platter. Scatter cucumber, daikon and edamame over spinach, then sprinkle with sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds and peanuts. Tuck slices of tofu here and there.
  • Sprinkle a pinch of salt over everything, then drizzle salad with dressing and serve.
