PECAN SPINACH SALAD
My family thinks this refreshing salad is sensational. Coated with a pleasant vinaigrette and topped with toasted pecans and blue cheese, it has an impressive look and taste. Though it can be prepared in 10 minutes or less, don't tell my family because they'd never believe it!

TUSCAN WHITE BEAN SALAD WITH SPINACH, OLIVES, AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES
Steps:
- 1. To quick-soak the beans: Place the beans in a large pot with water to cover by 3 inches and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 45 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain, and rinse.
- 2. To cook the beans: Place the beans in a large pot and add enough water to cover by 3 to 4 inches. Bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer, uncovered, 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until beans are tender but still firm. Drain and rinse the beans thoroughly. Set aside to cool.
- 3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook and stir until slightly brown, about 5 minutes.
- 4. Toss the beans, onion, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella, and olives in a large bowl with the vinaigrette until just combined. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use or up to 1 day. If refrigerating, add the spinach just before serving.
WARM SPINACH SALAD WITH BACON, TOMATOES, AND PECANS
The bacon and the pecans add crunch to this delicious salad. You can substitute baby spinach in this recipe for a more tender bite, but we like how the flat-leaf wilts.

SPINACH SALAD WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO DRESSING
This is a recipe that I did one day with ingredients I had in the house, and everyone liked it so much, I make it all the time. It uses sun dried tomato oil, which is drained from a jar of oil packed sun dried tomatoes. Being brought up a good frugal Dutch girl, I wanted to use that oil for something, besides stir frying. The dressing keeps for a while in the fridge, the salad ingredients are simple, so you can have this anytime.

Steps:
- Whisk together the sun dried tomato oil, red wine vinegar, honey and Dijon mustard.
- For a thicker dressing, you can add an oil packed or reconstituted sun dried tomato, and process in a blender or food processor.
- Put the baby spinach in a salad bowl, and toss with just enough of the dressing to lightly coat the spinach.
- Sprinkle the sesame seeds, dried cranberries, and sun dried tomatoes, if using, over the top, and serve.
- Alternatively, you can arrange the spinach on serving plates, drizzle with the dressing, then add the toppings to each plate. That way the cranberries and sun dried tomatoes won't sink to the bottom of the bowl, and makes a prettier presentation for a dinner party.
