Ingredients

  • 1 medium red onion
  • 2 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Citrus Dressing, recipe follows
  • 8 cups baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
  • 1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Slice the onion into thin wedges, through the root end. Toss with the olive oil, season with salt, to taste, and spread out on a baking sheet. Roast until just soft and brown, about 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Put the spinach and onions in a large bowl. Drizzle with some of the dressing and toss. Add more dressing as needed; spinach should just be lightly coated. Divide salad among 4 chilled plates. Top with pecans, goat cheese, and dried cranberries. Serve immediately
