A greener version of the classic Caprese, this salad is just as delicious with the added nutrients of spinach! The drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar make a wonderful dressing for the spinach underneath.

SPINACH CAPRESE SALAD WITH HERBED CHICKPEAS, CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS & CREAMY BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE



Spinach Caprese Salad with Herbed Chickpeas, Caramelized Shallots & Creamy Balsamic Vinaigrette image

Don't get us wrong-we love a good Caprese salad. But there never seems to be enough for a whole meal. So here's a bigger, better version that's chock-a-block with ingredients and totally dinner-worthy. Fresh spinach provides the leafy base with caramelized shallots throughout for pops of sweetness. Crisp roasted chickpeas add a protein boost while garlicky ciabatta croutons up the crunch factor even more. Of course, it wouldn't be Caprese without the tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, but we made them bite-size so they're more fork friendly. We even upgraded the balsamic dressing, making it creamier and heartier. Now, this is a main-course salad that won't leave you hungry.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 unit Shallot
5 teaspoon Balsamic Vinegar
13.4 ounce Chickpeas
1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
4 ounce Grape Tomatoes
4 ounce Fresh Mozzarella
1 unit Ciabatta Bread
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
2 tablespoon Mayonnaise
2 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
5 ounce Spinach
1 teaspoon Cooking Oil
1 teaspoon Sugar
6 tablespoon Olive Oil
Kosher Salt
Pepper

Steps:

  • • Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. • Drain and rinse chickpeas; pat very dry with paper towels. Halve, peel, and cut shallot into ½-inch-thick wedges. • Toss chickpeas and shallot on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, half the Italian seasoning (all for 4), salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until chickpeas are golden and tender and shallot is caramelized, 18-20 minutes. (You'll add more to the sheet after 11 minutes.)
  • • Meanwhile, wash and dry produce. • Halve tomatoes. Dice mozzarella into ½-inch cubes. • Place tomatoes in a small bowl; toss with vinegar, 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt.
  • • Halve ciabatta lengthwise; cut into ¾-inch strips. Tear strips into rough cubes. Transfer to a large bowl; toss with 2 TBSP olive oil (4 TBSP for 4 servings), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. • Once chickpeas and shallot have roasted 11 minutes, remove from oven and push to one side of sheet; carefully add croutons to empty side. (For 4, add croutons to a second sheet; toast on middle rack.) Return to top rack until golden and crispy, 7-9 minutes. Wipe out bowl. • Once finished roasting, carefully transfer everything to bowl used to season croutons to cool.
  • • Remove tomatoes from bowl and set aside, leaving marinade behind. • Whisk half the mayonnaise and half the mustard into marinade until smooth. (For 4 servings, use all the mayonnaise and mustard.) • Slowly whisk in 4 TBSP olive oil (8 TBSP for 4), drizzling a little bit at a time, until creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Reserve 1½ TBSP dressing (3 TBSP for 4) for serving.
  • • Add spinach to bowl with cooled chickpeas, shallot, and croutons. Toss with remaining dressing until evenly coated.
  • • Divide salad between plates. Top with mozzarella and tomatoes. Drizzle with reserved dressing and season with salt and pepper to serve.

  • Slice each tomato in half. When ready, grab the spinach and stack each leaf on top of one another, roll the stack, and cut thin strips creating chiffonade cuts of spinach.
  • In a large bowl, add the mozzarella pearls, tomatoes, and spinach, set aside. Now we will make the dressing.
  • In a mixing bowl, add all of the dressing ingredients—lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pomegranate molasses, basil of choice, and mix until an emulsified dressing forms. I like to mix for about a solid minute. This helps puncture the basil and ensures the salt is evenly distributed throughout the dressing. Now let’s put it all together.
