INGREDIENTS

  • 2 (10 ounce) packages baby spinach, rinsed and dried
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups toasted, chopped pecans
  • 8 ounces crumbled blue cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons molasses
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2/3 cup olive oil

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large bowl, arrange spinach and red onion slices and top with toasted pecans and crumbled blue cheese.
  2. In a small saucepan, warm the garlic in the olive oil to allow its flavor to diffuse into the oil. Then add molasses, vinegar and pepper. Whisking constantly, bring almost to a boil, remove from heat and cool until just warm. Pour into a shakeable container, shake and pour over salad. Serve immediately.

Excellent salad! We have enjoyed this salad a number of times. Its very good using the dressing that Lisa B provides. But everyone is WOWED when I use the Hot Bacon Dressing provided by Vera on this site. Thanks Vera and LisaB. This is a keeper.

This dressing is awesome!!! I had to go back & make more during dinner because it was soooo good! I did increase the molasses & decrease the vinegar some. Used bacon, onion & feta cheese with this dressing. Maybe next time I will get a hold of bleu cheese & pecans.

Excellent salad. I used goat cheese (chevre) instead of blue cheese and it was fabulous! The vinaigrette is wonderful....
