SPINACH SALAD WITH CARAMELIZED PECANS
Caramelized pecans make this salad especially good. This is a salad they used to serve at the restaurant one of my son's worked at, Rockbottom Brewery. If you want a salad with a bit more punch, try blue cheese instead of the feta.

- In a deep-fryer or a deep pot, heat the oil to 350 degrees F. (A deep-frying thermometer can be clipped to the side of the pan so that you can tell when the proper temperature has been reached).
- Meanwhile, in a large saucepan bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add the pecans and boil for 2 minutes. Drain in a large strainer, shaking off all excess water. Sprinkle the salt and cayenne pepper over the nuts and then coat with the confectioners' sugar, a little at a time, allowing the sugar to melt into the pecans. Toss the nuts by shaking the strainer, adding a little more sugar each time, until all the sugar is used and all the nuts are coated. Do not use hands or a spoon to toss. The nuts should have a glaze of sugar.
- Carefully add the nuts to the heated oil, keeping the oil at 350 degrees F. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon to a baking tray to cool.

WARM SPINACH SALAD W/ CARAMELIZED ONION, MUSHROOM, FETA AND NUTS
An incredible salad. Cook so the spinach just gets warm and coated with the carmalized onion dressing! It smelled and tasted so good, I'm going to have to wait until next time to snap a picture of it. I usually serve this salad with some sort of white fish and other veggie as a main course. It may seem like a lot of butter, but it's what makes up the dressing and is necessary. I used "I can't believe it's not Butter" to cut the saturated fat in half that real butter would give and it came out great! The idea for this salad came out of a vegetables book in the grocery store and was a real winner!

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a deep frying pan or pot that will eventually be able to handle all the spinach being tossed around in it.
- Toss in the onions and mushrooms and turn down the heat to medium low / low medium. Allow onions and mushrooms to caramelize for approx 30 minutes until onions are soft, transparent and golden stirring occasionally. This is a prime time to get the main course a cookin! These onions can be made well in advance and then reheated for just the moment you want to serve the salad. If the onions start to dry out with the amount of butter used add a little more. 4 Tbsp Butter worked out for me at the heat I caramelized the onions on.
- Stir in the squirt of anchovy paste (optional), pine nuts (or nut of choice) and the crumbled feta a little sea salt and black pepper for taste with the caramelized onions and mushrooms. Once these are somewhat warm and melted, carefully fold in the spinach leaves until they're all coated, making sure not to cook too long. We don't want them soggy or wilted, just coated and warm. Serve immediately and enjoy!

CARAMELIZED PEAR AND TOASTED ALMOND SALAD
This is one of my favorites. My aunt served roasted pear and walnut salad at her wedding, and this is my version of it. It looks and sounds fancy, even though it's pretty simple, so I whip it out at parties every once in a while. I also like to sprinkle mozzarella over the top.

SPINACH SALAD WITH PEARS, ALMONDS AND CRANBERRIES WW 4 PTS
A salad that serves well as a light meal. Received at a Weight Watchers meeting. 4 WW points per serving. The original recipe suggests using a red pear for color, but adds that you can substitute any ripe pear. Also, if you can't find roasted almonds, roast your own by spreading almonds on a baking sheet and roasting them in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes. In summer months, you could easily swap ripe peaches or nectarines for the pears.

Steps:
- Toss all above ingredients in a large salad bowl. Top with dressing, JUST BEFORE serving, and toss. Dressing: Fry bacon till crisp. Reserve 2 tablespoons drippings, or more if desired. Stir in 2 tablespoons of cider vinegar, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon white sugar and a pinch of dry mustard. Stir into drippings. Gradually stir in 1 cup of sour cream (I use light) and 1/3 cup of mayo (I use Miracle Whip). Cover and chill for at least one hour. Caramelized almonds: In frying pan on med. heat, put 1/2 cup of sliced almonds, and approx. 2-3 tablespoons of white sugar. Stir continually until sugar is melted and the almonds have turned a wonderful caramel color. Remove to a plate to cool. Break in to pieces if stuck together, and toss with salad. I usually save out a bit of extra almonds and grated mozza to add to the top, too just before serving. Dressing option: Poppyseed dressing is absolutely wonderful with this salad, too

Steps:
- Lightly grease a 10-inch square of aluminum foil with butter or vegetable oil and set aside.
- Combine 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon water in a small saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, swirling occasionally, until the sugar turns a golden amber color, 3 to 4 minutes.

Transfer to the prepared aluminum foil, using a spoon to spread into a thin layer, and set aside to cool completely.

Transfer the dressing to a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid until you are ready to serve.
- Put the spinach in a large serving bowl, then top with the orange segments, celery, and red onions. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- When ready to serve, break the caramelized almonds into bite-size pieces and scatter over the top of the salad. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Toss to coat evenly and serve immediately.
