SPINACH AND ROASTED RED PEPPER SALAD WITH HONEY BALSAMIC DRESSIN
From Rachel Ray. It's delicious as it is, but I suppose adding in some mozzarella or provolone cubes, or maybe some toasted macadamia nuts would be good too... For extra ease, I use the large bag of Ready Pac baby spinach leaves.

Tips:
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach leaves will give your salad the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh spinach, you can use baby spinach or arugula instead.
- Roast the red peppers yourself: Roasting red peppers at home is easy and gives them a much better flavor than store-bought roasted peppers. To roast red peppers, simply cut them in half, remove the seeds, and drizzle them with olive oil. Roast them in a 400°F oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly charred.
- Make the vinaigrette dressing ahead of time: The vinaigrette dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This makes it easy to assemble the salad when you're ready to serve it.
- Add other vegetables to the salad: This salad is a great way to use up leftover roasted vegetables. You can add roasted zucchini, eggplant, or mushrooms to the salad for extra flavor and texture.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The spinach will start to wilt if you let it sit for too long.
Conclusion:
This spinach and roasted red pepper salad is a delicious and healthy side dish or main course. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
