WEIGHT WATCHERS ROASTED PEPPER SALAD (1 POINT)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spread.
• Mix the tomatoes, olives, capers, garlic, red pepper flakes, and 1 tsp of the oil in a bowl. Spread the bell peppers, skin side down, on the baking sheet. Spoon the tomato mixture over them. Cover loosely with foil and roast 30 minutes. Uncover and roast until the peppers are tender, about 15 minutes. Let the pepper mixture cool. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate up to two days.
• To serve, transfer the salad to a medium bowl and let come to room temperature, about 1 hour. Whisk the remaining 2 tsp oil, the vinegar, and salt in a small bowl. Drizzle over the salad and sprinkle with the basil or parsley.

CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND CARROTS - WW POINTS = 1

Steps:

• Heat the oil in large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, just until softened, about 2 minutes. Add 3/4 cup of the water and cook, stirring occasionally, until the water evaporates, 5-6 minutes.
• Add the carrots, sugar and thyme; reduce the heat and cook until the onions are golden, about 6 minutes. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of water, salt and pepper; cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.
• If making ahead, let cool; freeze in an airtight container up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Cook in a skillet with 1/3 cup water until hot and the water evaporates.

WARM SPINACH SALAD W/ CARAMELIZED ONION, MUSHROOM, FETA AND NUTS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a deep frying pan or pot that will eventually be able to handle all the spinach being tossed around in it.
• Toss in the onions and mushrooms and turn down the heat to medium low / low medium. Allow onions and mushrooms to caramelize for approx 30 minutes until onions are soft, transparent and golden stirring occasionally. This is a prime time to get the main course a cookin! These onions can be made well in advance and then reheated for just the moment you want to serve the salad. If the onions start to dry out with the amount of butter used add a little more. 4 Tbsp Butter worked out for me at the heat I caramelized the onions on.
• Stir in the squirt of anchovy paste (optional), pine nuts (or nut of choice) and the crumbled feta a little sea salt and black pepper for taste with the caramelized onions and mushrooms. Once these are somewhat warm and melted, carefully fold in the spinach leaves until they're all coated, making sure not to cook too long. We don't want them soggy or wilted, just coated and warm. Serve immediately and enjoy!
