January Salad


I served a spinach salad in my new pottery bowl from Liesl the other night. The bowl is a deep cobalt blue with brown glaze and it holds enough salad for 2-4 servings.

I tossed baby spinach in a vinaigrette made with maple sugar, olive oil and rice vinegar. I usually whisk in a bit of mustard for some flavor depth. Chunks of gala apple mixed with sunflower seeds were tossed with the spinach leaves. The salad was finished with a grind of black pepper. It was served with a bowl of chili mac and a slice of toast to mop up the extra vinaigrette.

It was a simple meal, but very yummy, perfect for a January day when food should be less complicated and still be satisfying.
