Wilted Spinach Salad VegetarianTo make his Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing recipe from Good Eats on Food Network even better, Alton Brown tops it with sliced eggs and mushrooms. This spinach salad is set apart from the typical spinach salad in two important ways The red onions, which are usually sliced thin and added to the salad raw, are. I made with two modifications chopped the onions instead of slicing, and used 8oz pre cooking of orzo which I think is half the amount called for, but thats unclear given these weird directions. Either way, it seemed like the right amount of orzo. I halved it and recipe was great. Made this as a side dish to the Grilled Jumbo Shrimp with Lemon and Oregano on this site. Easy and delicious I subbed whole wheat rotini for the orzo for health reasons, and it worked out fine. The lemon in the salad wasnt too strong, so didnt seem excessive with the lemon in the shrimp. Great summer meal with simple grilled zucchini. Shrimp Cevice there. I made this recipe minus mint using 8oz. Unlike others I really enjoyed the light dressing provided by the lemons, onion, feta, and pepper. I also agree with a previous reviewer that feta and olives provided enough salt so I didnt add any additional. All in all, a great summer salad recipe, and I would definitely make it again Made salad for side dish and everyone loved it, but were hesitant to try it because there was so much orzo vs spinach in the final product. I also left out the lemon zest and it was not missed juice was more than enough. Next time I will reduce the amount of orzo by half and put in more spinach for my carb conscience guests. Chopped olives also not necessary save yourself time and put in whole ones, their flavor still makes it into the salad. I agree. I made the recipe according to the instructions, and found it all a bit dry and bland. So I added more of everything, except the mint which you couldnt taste anyway. Didnt add any salt, since the olives and feta make it salty enough. It was okay, but wouldnt bother making it again. Id make this again, but with half the suggested amount of orzo 8 oz of dry orzo would be more than enough to have a balanced ratio of pasta to the other ingredients. It was delicious at room temperature, especially after the spinach and onion wilted a little and the flavours from the oil infused everything. Nice summer dinnerAm making it today, and will review it then. Am tired of reading reviews from people who dont make the actual recipe. No one. cooks orzo, then. Cook orzo according. There is no reason. Happy Cooking 1 pound is 1. Nothing is simple I made this with quinoa because we dont. I was also out of olives. I. left that out too. Will definitely make again.
