Pineapple Spinach Salad
Report
Pineapple spinach salad is a fun twist on the traditional strawberry spinach salad. There's pineapple in every bite...because who really wants to eat spinach?

Ingredients
For the dressing:
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- pepper to taste
- 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard optional--taste it first
For the pecans:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup pecan halves
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
For the salad:
- 10-13 ounces spinach
- 1 pineapple chopped into bite-size pieces
- 6 ounces feta
Instructions
- Combine all the dressing ingredients in a mason jar or tupperware. Shake vigorously and set aside.
- In a small pan, heat the butter over medium-high heat. When hot, add the pecans and stir to coat. Add the brown sugar and stir again. Stir occasionally until the sugar starts to caramelize, about 2-5 minutes. Remove to a wax paper lined cookie sheet and let cool.
- In a large bowl add the spinach, pineapple, and feta. Toss to combine. Sprinkle the top with pecans and serve with the salad dressing (you might not use all of it).
Notes
- This salad is heavy on the pineapple. If you want it more salad-y, add more spinach. Also, feel free to buy pre-candied pecans.
