I yam what I yam and that's all that I yam. toot! toot!
Sorry, I don't know what came over me there. It's that old association thing. I see spinach, I hear Popeye.
When I was a kid that can of spinach that Popeye muscled open never particularly got my cravings revved up. Nope, never. But my oh my, how things have changed. I kind of have a thing now for fresh baby spinach. Bonus of bonuses, 'cuz it's really, really good for us.
Now I do crave spinach. Spinach salad to be precise. Eon's ago my husband and I owned and operated a fine little restaurant in Kelowna called Chianti's. One of Chianti's most popular menu items, hands down, was Spinach Salad. Mmmm…..mmm…..mmmm……. a damn fine way to get my spinach fix!
CHIANTI'S SPINACH SALAD…………..Continued
We eat spinach salad every night so I’m going to give this one a try, minus the bacon bits, of course!
Rosie pose, I think you’ll like this one. Depending on your likes, you might want to try adding a few whole dates in place of the bacon – just something that gives that other texture and flavour burst. Yeah, I like it, dates instead of bacon. Try it and let me know! : )
Mmm I’m so glad you put this recipe up!
Nice looking spinach salad, thank you for the dressing recipe, I look forward to trying this out. Spinach salad is also my favorite of salads, maybe with a little oliveoil, haha!
I am so excited to find another Okanagan blogger. I am from Kelowna:D Looks like we will both be attending the Writers Workshop. I look forward to meeting you and following your blog with all it’s tasty dishes:D
Trying this salad later! Thanks for the recipe.
Judi, I made this tonight with your One pot pasta and it was the perfect paring. I used Olive oil as I didn’t have vegetable oil and I only used 1&3/4c. I made some buttery garlic croutons out of fresh focaccia bread. Brought back some good memories of your amazing restaurant. Thanks for sharing….delicious!
