Baby Spinach Salad
 
 
Yield: 6 Servings
 
 
1 1/2 tb Tomato paste      1 tb Tamarind pulp
1/2 tb Shallots; chopped      1/4 c Sherry vinegar
1 1/4 c Olive oil      1/4 ts Kosher salt
1 ds Black pepper      1 Red onion
1 1/2 tb Balsamic vinegar      6 c Spinach
 
Preparation Time: 0:30 FOR THE DRESSING: Place the tomato paste tamarind pulp shallot and vinegar in a blender an mix well. Slowly add the oil a drop at a time at first and then in a slow b steady stream until it is all incorporated. Add the salt. Can be kept in the refrigerator for 1 week. FOR THE ONIONS: Peel and slice one large red onion thick enough so that you can handle the slices and they will not fall apart when you cook them. Rub them with a little olive oil and cook the onions over a charcoal fire or under a hot broiler until soft. (Approximately 5 to 6 minutes per side.) Toss in a bowl with 1-1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar so that the slices become single rings. These will keep refrigerated 2 to 3 days. TO ASSEMBLE THE SALAD: Wash and dry one medium handful (about 1 cup) spinach for each portion and toss with enough dressing to coat each leaf being careful not to over-dress the salad. Arrange the onions over the salad and serve. Always serve salads on chilled plates.
