My co-workers took me to a restaurant for lunch yesterday; treated me for my birthday. Here in US the celebrant gets to be treated instead of the celebrant treating her/his friends. Anyway, we had spinach salad similar to the one with pancetta, it’s an Italian bacon with black olives and some kind of dressing with poppy seeds. It was absolutely delicious. And yes, we had baby spinach.

umm. i use strawberries too instead of apples. my dressing is olive oil, lemon, (and its zest) finely chopped onions, honey and poppy seeds. can you imagine the color?

Haven’t tried baby spinach, always liked romaine for salad, but what I do is add sliced cukes and any kind of sweet friut(canned mandarin orange segments, mangoes, halved grape tomatoes, canned cling peach) add italian dressing and here’s the clincher, top with lots of crumbled Feta cheese (it’s saltiness goes well with the sweetness of the fruits). I have to try this with baby spinach next time. Over here bagged baby spinach is always available in supermarkets.

Grey poupon would do well. Nuts and a strong cheese like gorgonzola or blue cheese would also do well with mesclun and a vinaigrette…

I was thinking of throwing in candied nuts into a mesclun together with sweet mango cubes and then some balsamic vinaigrette. (Thanks for the spinach recipe. Would do that!) By mustard, will a Grey Poupon do?
