Spinach Salad Recipe With Mushrooms
Popular Restaurant Salad Recipe
Preparation time: 10 minutes. Serves 4-6 depending on portion desired.

Cooking Conversion Table

Ingredients for Spinach Salad:

  • 9 ounce package of cleaned (de-stemmed) spinach (baby leaves best)
  • 1/4 pound white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 cup crisp bacon pieces (optional)
  • 1/2 cup of your favorite Oil and Vinegar or use the wonderful restaurant salad dressing recipe below

    Instructions for Spinach Salad:

  • Clean the mushrooms by wiping off with a damp kitchen towel or paper towels and then slice them
  • Marinate the mushrooms in the oil and vinegar (or dressing) for one hour or until you are ready to serve the salad
  • To serve, toss the ingredients in a salad bowl and serve on salad plates (see below)


    Dressing Recipe:
    Preparation time: 5 minutes. Makes enough dressing for recipe above (4-6 salads)

    Ingredients:
    The "key" is to use high quality Oil and Vinegar. The amounts are approximate. Please adjust to your taste.

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon quality vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/2 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Minced parsley or a little of your favorite herb

    Instructions:

  • Put all the ingredients except the olive oil in the bottom of a bowl and let sit for 30 minutes
  • In the same bowl, place the spinach leaves on top of the mixture. Pour the olive oil over the leaves only and then use your fingers to toss the leaves to lightly coat them with the oil
  • Now reach to the bottom of the bowl into the mixture with a rubber spatula and toss the spinach with the rest of the dressing mixture. This process saves a step and saves washing a separate bowl.

    Plate the salads and garnish with bacon bits if you desire.


    Enjoy your restaurant Spinach Salad Recipe and the company of those you share it with! It is a favorite restaurant salad recipe.
