Spinach Pecans and Gorgonzola Salad With Sherry Vinaigrette

Submitted by Mysterygirl

"Recipe courtesy Dave Lieberman Show: Good Deal with Dave Lieberman Episode: One Pot Meal Potluck Not like any of the other spinach salads on Zaar so I thought that I would post this one."

 

• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package spinach
• 1⁄3 cup pecan halves
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1⁄4 teaspoon sugar
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 cup olive oil
• 1⁄4 cup sherry wine vinegar
• 2 small shallots, minced
• kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 2 ounces gorgonzola, crumbled

directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Toss pecans with vegetable oil, sugar and salt. Lay out on baking sheet. Roast until shade darker and aromatic, about 7 to 8 minutes. Set aside. I have also done this one the stove top in a skillet but I stir frequently when doing so.
3. Whisk together olive oil, vinegar, shallots and salt and pepper in a bowl.
4. Mix spinach, goronzola and pecans in a serving bowl.
5. Toss salad with dressing.

Very good and easy! I used sunflower oil instead of olive oil and raspberry vinegar instead of the sherry vinegar. Thanks for sharing!
