Spinach Salad with Eggs

Lynn Fredericks

Ingredients 

  • 6 cups Spinach Fresh
  • 3 Eggs Large
  • cup Dried Cranberries
  • cup Parmesan Cheese Grated
  • ¼ cup Canola Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Vinegar Any type
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt

Equipment

  • Stovetop
  • Large Bowl
  • Medium Pot with Lid
  • Jar with a Lid

Instructions

  • Wash and dry spinach. Remove stems. Tear leaves into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a medium pot, add eggs. Cover with cold water by one inch. Bring just to a boil. Cover and remove from heat right away. Let sit 15 minutes. Remove eggs. Plunge into cold water to help cool. This will make it easier to peel shells.
  • Peel and slice eggs. Chop slices.
  • In a large bowl, add spinach, eggs, and dried cranberries. Sprinkle cheese on top.
  • In a jar, add oil, vinegar, honey, and salt. Cover tightly with lid. Shake well.
  • Just before serving, drizzle dressing over the salad. Toss to coat spinach leaves.

Notes

  • If no one is allergic, chop and add ½ cup nuts (walnuts, pecans, cashews) or seeds (pumpkin, sunflower) to salad before tossing.
  • Make double the dressing. Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator, up to 1 week. Use on other salads or to flavor sandwiches.
  • To save time, cook eggs in advance. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Make extra eggs if you like. Use them for breakfast, snack, or to make egg salad.
