Rhubarb Spinach Salad

Description

This is a sweet, tangy salad with slightly wilted spinach. It comes together super fast and easy, with great results! I used a cranberry sugar vinegar that I made, but you could try red wine vinegar, too.

Ingredients

  • ½ pound fresh spinach — cleaned, stemmed, and dried
  • 2 large stalks of rhubarb, cut diagonally into thin slices
  • water to cover
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sweet red wine vinegar
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Arrange the spinach leaves on a platter.
  2. Place the rhubarb in a skillet with enough water to cover by 1 inch; add the sugar. Bring the rhubarb to a gentle boil over medium-low heat and simmer until the sugar has dissolved and the rhubarb is lightly cooked
  3. about 2 minutes. Remove the rhubarb with a slotted spoon and distribute over the spinach.
  4. Stir the vinegar into the liquid left in the skillet
  5. raise heat to medium
  6. and bring to a boil. Return heat to medium-low and cook until the liquid has reduced to about 3/4 cup
  7. about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat
  8. whisk in the olive oil
  9. and pour the hot dressing over the spinach and rhubarb to wilt the lettuce. Divide salad between 2 plates; serve warm.
