Introduction

I was in the mood for something sweet this evening, but hadn't had fulfilled my 5 fruits-and-vegetables-a-day requirement. This worked perfectly! I was in the mood for something sweet this evening, but hadn't had fulfilled my 5 fruits-and-vegetables-a-day requirement. This worked perfectly!

Ingredients

    Dole Baby Spinach Salad, 3 oz
    Pear, ripe, sliced thin, 1 pear, small
    Dry Roasted Cashew Nuts, 5 crushed cashews
    Fresh Ginger Root, peeled, 2 tsp
    Tamari Sauce, 1 tbsp
    Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1 tbsp

Directions

Saute ginger and pears in extra virgin olive oil. The spinach should wilt, though not completely shrink. Add crushed cashew nuts and tamari sauce. Toss and quickly serve.

If you don't have tamari sauce, you can use soy sauce, though you will lose some of the sweet flavoring. (Soy sauce does have wheat glutens in it.)

This will be a pleasantly sweet main dish for 1 or a side dish for 2. Serve over rice, or eat as it is.
