Wilted Spinach Salad with Sherry Vinaigrette

 

EatingWell

This wilted spinach salad doesn’t follow the bacon-and-egg tradition but it’s big on flavor with rich sherry vinegar, a touch of smoky paprika and briny olives.

NUTRITION PROFILE: Healthy Weight | Heart Healthy | Low Sodium | Low Cholesterol | Low Sat Fat | Low Carb | Low Calorie | Diabetes Appropriate | Gluten Free Diet

Yield: 6 servings, about 1 1/2 cups each

Servings: 6

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

Recipe Ingredients:

  • 12 ounces fresh spinach (see Note)
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced shallot
  • 1/3 cup sherry vinegar or red-wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked or hot paprika (optional)
  • 1/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup chopped black olives, such as Kalamata

Recipe Steps:

  1. Place spinach in a large bowl.
  2. Place shallot, vinegar and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until the liquid is nearly evaporated. Add almonds and paprika (if using) and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Stir in broth and olives and bring to a simmer. Immediately pour the dressing over the spinach and toss until slightly wilted.

Recipe Tips & Notes:

Note: Baby spinach is immature or young spinach—it’s harvested earlier than large-leaved mature spinach. We like the sturdy texture of mature spinach in cooked dishes and serve tender, mild-flavored baby spinach raw or lightly wilted. Baby and mature spinach can be used interchangeably in these recipes (yields may vary slightly); be sure to remove the tough stems from mature spinach before using.
