Warm Spinach Salad Recipes

A healthier alternative to the bacon-laden warm spinach salad, this is a nice side dish for cool weather.

A warm spinach salad for winter weekenights, goes great with everything. Superfast for when you are in a hurry! And who doesn't like bacon?

Just toss in a pan to warm up diced ingredients ... et voila! One of my favorite weekend lunches!

Yummy

Based on a recipe from Rachel Ray, this is my rendition and it is delicious!

Perfect with lamb

You make your own croutons in this recipe, much healthier than most store-bought fried varieties.

Cooking the sundried tomatoes in balsamic vinegar makes them sweet and chewy

Such an impressive salad. It's a BIG salad with lot's of flavor and not a lot of fat and calories. Don't be afraid of the bacon...the center cut bacon is less fat and calories per slice than turkey bacon. So no worries....enjoy!!!

A delicious lunch on its own or a side dish with dinner. Great for when you get tired of plain old salads! Does involve some cooking, but if you follow my instructions, you only get one pan dirty.

Bistro-style salad

A warm salad....healthy and delicious

Holy COW this is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Spend the money for SMOKED paprika for this one. Really, do it :) If you are using already salted pecan 1/2s (like I did) definitely 1/2 the salt in that step.

From Chow.com. I typed it in as it is on the website:

In this recipe, a riff on a classic warm spinach salad, we swap hearty sweet potatoes for the bacon. Smoked paprika coats warm toasted pecans to add crunch to this colorful, satisfying salad.

The quinoa adds protein as well as a chewy texture to this meatless main dish. The heat of the cooked quinoa and mushrooms helps wilt the spinach; the dressing and feta pulls this warm salad together.

I love this type of salad. I made it over to keep it lower calorie so it could be paired with a well-balanced dinner. I reduced the amount of bacon and significantly reduced the bacon fat from the dressing. I also added some fresh diced tomato that wasn't in the original recipe.

Makes spinach delicious. I discovered this while traveling in Greece and make it often now.

This is a great recipe to have with a bbq. You can play with the ingredient portions to suit your own tastes.
