Spinach, Pineapple and Blue Cheese Salad


When you look at this plate does your mouth water for the meat or the salad?
To me this dish showcased the salad as it was very unique, quick and easy. It pared well with smashed sweet potato and chili rubbed New York steak.
1 bag of Organic Baby Spinach
1 cup frozen pineapple tidbits (thawed but very cold)
½ cup diced Red Onion (could substitute a sweet onion in season)
½ pint cherry tomatoes cut in half (can use grape as well)
½ cup crumbled Blue Cheese
½ cup white wine vinegar
2 TBS Agave Sweetener
½ tsp poppy seeds
1/4 cup vegetable oil or grape seed oil
Salt & Pepper

Wisk vinegar, Agave (could substitute a small amount of Stevia), poppy seeds, Salt and Pepper and oil. Combine Spinach, pineapple, onion and tomato with dressing and serve. Sprinkle with Blue cheese.

Here’s to more veggies in 2010!
