SPINACH SALAD WITH ORANGE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the prosciutto slices on a baking sheet and bake until just crisp, about 10 minutes. Let cool. Crumble the prosciutto slices into a container and store in the refrigerator.
• In a blender, combine the orange zest, orange juice, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. With the blender running, add the olive oil in a steady stream until combined. Transfer to a container and store in the refrigerator.
• To serve, put the spinach in a large bowl. Toss with enough of the vinaigrette to coat the spinach. Sprinkle with the crisp prosciutto crumbles, toss again, and serve.

MY FAVORITE SPINACH SALAD

Steps:

• Mix first 4 ingredients together in a large bowl.
• To prepare dressing, warm wine vinegar slightly.
• Add sugar and stir to dissolve.
• (If you prefer a tangier dressing, reduce the sugar to 2/3 cup.) If you don't warm the vinegar, you will have trouble getting the sugar to dissolve.
• Allow to cool.
• Add onion, paprika and salt.
• Stir well.
• Add olive oil and blend.
• I prefer to put it in a bottle and shake it.
• Pour over salad and enjoy!
