Spinach Salad with Dates

February 18, 2019 By marketeditor

Adapted from NYTCooking

INGREDIENTS

 * Ingredients currently available at the farmers’ market

1 Tablespoon wine vinegar

½ medium red onion,* thinly sliced

½ cup dates, pitted and quartered lengthwise

pinch of salt

2 Tablespoon unsalted butter

2 Tablespoons olive oil

2 small pitas, roughly torn into ½ inch pieces

½ cup whole unsalted almonds, coarsely chopped

6 ounces fresh spinach leaves* 

2 teaspoons lemon zest

2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Put vinegar, onion, and dates in a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and mix well. Let it sit for 20 minutes, then drain and discard any residual vinegar.
  2. Meanwhile, heat butter and 1 Tablespoon olive oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add pita and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring all the time, until the pita is golden. Add almonds and continue cooking until pita is crunchy and browned and almonds are toasted and fragrant, about 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and mix in the lemon zest. Set aside to cool.
  3. When ready to serve, toss spinach leaves with pita mixture in a large bowl. Add date and onion mixture, remaining 1 Tablespoon of oil, and lemon juice.
