Another Recipe from "French Women for all Seasons"

Here is another fabulous and cheap recipe from "French Women for all Seasons" by Mirelle Guillano. It's called Salmon and Spinach Salad and I definitely recommend trying it. I had it with a croissant and added pecans to it as well.

Salmon and Spinach Salad

1 shallot, minced

pinch of sea salt

1/2 cup sherry vinegar

3/4 pound uncooked salmon fillets (or smoked salmon or canned salmon)

1 teaspoon meaux mustard

freshly ground pepper

2 tablespoons red wine or rasberry vinegar

1/4 cup olive oil

3/4 pound spinach, washed and dried

1. Mix together the shallot, salt, and sherry vinegar. Pour onto the salmon, and let marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably 3.

2. Drain off the marinade, and cut the salmon into very thin slices. (This step can be done in advance.)

3. For the dressing, mix the mustard and pepper in a bowl with the red wine vinegar. Add the oil, whisking well.

4. Pour the dressing over the spinach in a large bowl, tossing gently. Place the salmon slices all around. Serve with buttered whole wheat toast.
