ingredients
- 2 bunches washed spinach, chopped into 1/4 inch strips by about 1 1/2 inches long
- 1 bunch washed green onion, chopped very fine,1/8 to 1/4 inch is good
- 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh grated lemon, zest of
- 1⁄4 cup slivered almonds
- 6 ounces rice vinegar (Marukan seasoned rice vinegar comes diluted to 4.1% acidity)
- 8 ounces bertolli extra light tasting olive oil (delicate & mild, so light it almost looks like veg. oil)
- 1⁄4 cup powdered sugar (SEE FOOTNOTE)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
directions
- SUGAR FOOTNOTE: I used Kroger brand.
- Also acceptable brands are: Ralphs and Vons.
- Why you ask… b/c they are most likely BEET sugar.
- They already come with cornstarch added.
- If you use a name brand cane sugar, or splenda, or xylitol (birch sugar) you will probably have to add 1/4 tsp of cornstarch to get a dressing consistency that clings to the salad.
- Spinach salad Key notes: 1 Wash your hands.
- 2 Wash the produce, drain and gently pat dry.
- 3 Wash your hands.
- Mix the first three ingredients thoroughly in a large wide bowl, add the almond slivers& set aside.
- Using a whisk- mix the next four ingredients thoroughly in a medium a bowl.
- Pour this dressing on the spinach/almond mixture.
- Using your very clean hands, incorporate the dressing with the salad… “tossing” and coating completely using a crunching motion on the spinach, to slightly bruise it so it softens- similar as you would do for a Slovak Cabbage salad.
- Put in a pretty serving bowl-- can be served room temperature or lightly chilled.

Chosen profession: Domestic Engineer
Current employment: standing on corner holding sign "will food for work"
Volunteer: Sunday school (ECF) teacher - 7th grade. Family, church & friend oriented.
Music: too much to list... just know that I loathe gangsta, Yoko-Ono's stylings and what is up with fusion - I don't get it.
Sports: take me to a baseball or hockey game and I'm a happy camper.
... and hobbies: too many to list.
For fun: really really really no... really bad puns - seriously, I'm just a goof-ball.
Books: Fanny Farmer cook book is cute light reading for any good domestic engineer. I love my Nourishing Traditions cookbook. I have done a complete 180 on milk. I now LOVE LOVE LOVE Ice cold raw whole milk, and renounce soy milk completely, though I will still joyfully eat tofu - overlooking the health detriment that it imposes.
Pet peeve: When people say 'these ones' or 'those ones', instead of saying 'these' etc... "Ones" is expressed and is not necessary. The word 'utilize' is over used and over-rated. The slang word "UM".
