BABY SPINACH SALAD WITH DATES AND ALMONDS



Baby Spinach Salad With Dates and Almonds image

Sumac, a tart, deep-red spice, is a key ingredient for this recipe from Yotam Ottolenghi, which was featured in a Times article about his cookbook with Sami Tamimi, "Jerusalem." Procuring the spice may be the most challenging thing about this refreshing, well-balanced salad. The pita and almonds are cooked for a few minutes on the stovetop, but that is the only heat required. As for the sumac, it can be found at Middle Eastern groceries, in a well-stocked spice aisle or, as always, online.

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon water
1/2 cup sliced almonds
4 oranges
1/4 cup Champagne or white wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning salad
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
10 ounces baby spinach (6 cups), washed and dried
1 cup thinly sliced celery
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onions
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon water
1/2 cup sliced almonds
4 oranges
1/4 cup Champagne or white wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning salad
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
10 ounces baby spinach (6 cups), washed and dried
1 cup thinly sliced celery
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onions
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Lightly grease a 10-inch square of aluminum foil with butter or vegetable oil and set aside.
  • Combine 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon water in a small saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, swirling occasionally, until the sugar turns a golden amber color, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the almonds and stir to coat. Continue cooking until the almonds are fragrant and golden brown, about 1 minute. Transfer to the prepared aluminum foil, using a spoon to spread into a thin layer, and set aside to cool completely.
  • With a thin, sharp knife, cut the peel and bitter white pith from the oranges, 1 at a time. Working over a bowl to catch the juices, cut in between the membranes to release the segments. Reserve the segments in a separate bowl. Combine 1/4 cup orange juice, the remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, the Champagne vinegar, olive oil, orange zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the cayenne in a mixing bowl and whisk to blend. Transfer the dressing to a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid until you are ready to serve.
  • Put the spinach in a large serving bowl, then top with the orange segments, celery, and red onions. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • When ready to serve, break the caramelized almonds into bite-size pieces and scatter over the top of the salad. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Toss to coat evenly and serve immediately.

Tips

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe peaches. If peaches are not in season, you can substitute frozen or canned peaches. Just be sure to thaw and drain the peaches before using.
  • To make the dressing, you can use either red wine vinegar or white wine vinegar. If you don't have either of those on hand, you can use apple cider vinegar or lemon juice instead.
  • If you don't have any honey on hand, you can substitute maple syrup or agave nectar. Just be sure to use a little less, as these sweeteners are sweeter than honey.
  • To add a little extra crunch to the salad, you can add a handful of chopped walnuts or almonds. You can also add a sprinkle of feta cheese or goat cheese for a salty flavor.
  • This salad is best served immediately after it is made. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
