This salad could be the perfect, weekend lunch and I wanted to share in time for your Saturday midday meal! It’s a bit indulgent and a lot umami, and even based off of one from a restaurant right here in Chicago. The recipe is below and very likely sounds a bit odd – in the interest of full disclosure, Laura was the one who ordered this salad, I thought it sounded too weird! – but trust me when I say that it’s a great combination.
Summer Spinach Salad:
- Baby spinach
- Hard boiled eggs
- Walnuts
- Feta cheese
- Red onion (optional!)
- Warm sesame oil
- Honey mustard salad dressing
It’s the sesame oil that really makes this salad unforgettable – heat a few tablespoons and drizzle directly on the spinach leaves to wilt and soften them a bit. I add the remaining ingredients after the oil and toss it well. Enjoy!
I don’t think that sounds weird at all… I’m not a fan of walnuts but the rest sounds like a great combo!
