Questions about Spinach leaf salad
How do you wash spinach leaf salad without bruising it?
Swish the leaves gently in a bowl of cold water, lift them out so grit stays behind, then spin or pat them dry. Dry leaves hold dressing better and stay crisp.
How should you store spinach leaf salad?
Keep it dry and refrigerated in a loosely closed container, with a clean paper towel to absorb moisture. Dress only the portion you plan to eat; dressed leaves soften quickly.
When should you dress spinach leaf salad?
Toss it just before serving. A sharp dressing of lemon juice or wine vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper coats the leaves without leaving them soggy.
What goes well with spinach leaf salad?
Try sliced pear or orange with toasted walnuts and a tangy cheese, or add hard-boiled egg, chickpeas or grilled chicken to make it more substantial. Mustard, lemon and balsamic dressings all suit spinach.
Can you use spinach leaf salad in a warm dish?
Yes. Stir the leaves through hot pasta, soup or a pan of cooked mushrooms just before serving; the residual heat wilts them in a minute or two without turning them mushy.
Can you replace spinach leaf salad with rocket?
Yes, especially in sandwiches or salads; rocket has a pepperier, sharper flavour, so pair it with milder ingredients such as pear, eggs or fresh cheese.
