Wilted Spinach Salad with Dried Cranberries, Pecans and Feta Cheese Recipe

Salad: 1 small red onion, vertically sliced 8 to 9 cups spinach leaves, washed and patted dry 4 oz. feta cheese, crumbled 1/4 C. dried cranberries 1 T. mint leaves, chopped 2 T. sherry vinegar Pinch of salt 6 T. olive oil Black pepper, freshly ground

Garlic crostini: 1 T. olive oil 1 large garlic clove 12 thinly sliced crostini or other Artisan bread 1/2 C. pecan halves, toasted and very coarsely chopped

Quarter and thinly slice the red onion. Place the slices in cold water and allow to soak for 30 minutes. Drain and pat dry.

Meanwhile, make the crostini. Brush the bread slices with olive oil. Toast the slices in a 375°F oven until nicely browned. Peel the garlic clove and smash it. Rub the browned slices of bread with the garlic after they come out of the oven. Set the crostini aside.

Place the soaked onion slices, spinach, pecans, feta, cranberries, mint and vinegar in a large mixing bowl. Toss together with a large pinch of salt. In a saucepan, heat the olive oil to just below smoking. Pour the hot oil over the salad in the bowl, tossing well as you do. Taste and correct the seasoning with salt, pepper and vinegar. Serve with crostini.

Serves 6.
