SPINACH SALAD WITH WHITE STILTON AND FRUIT



Spinach Salad With White Stilton and Fruit image

This is my own creation after buying some white Stilton with blueberries on impulse and having no idea what to do with it! We've also tried this with white Stilton with mangoes, apricots or cranberries, all wonderful! This is more of an idea than a recipe, so feel free to substitute nuts, fruits and dressing to taste. I've also used strawberries and almonds with this. *Note: White Stilton is different from regular Stilton, it is not a blue cheese at all because it has not gone through the process that causes the blue veining that gives blue cheese its distinctive taste. I would describe it as kind of like feta but a little sweeter, especially with the addition of the fruit.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch spinach
15 ounces mandarin oranges, well drained
1 apple, chopped
1/2 cup pecans (can be candied)
1/2 cup white Stilton cheese, with fruit in it (see note above)
balsamic vinaigrette or poppy seed dressing

Steps:

  • Wash and drain spinach thoroughly.
  • Mix with other ingredients and enjoy!

Nutrition Facts : Calories 247.6, Fat 15.4, SaturatedFat 4.1, Cholesterol 12.7, Sodium 305, Carbohydrate 24.3, Fiber 5.9, Sugar 15.8, Protein 8.2

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your salad will taste. This is especially important for the spinach, which should be bright green and crisp.
  • Choose the right fruit: Not all fruits are created equal when it comes to salads. Some fruits, like berries and citrus fruits, are more delicate and will bruise easily. Others, like apples and pears, are more sturdy and can hold up to being tossed in a salad.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will weigh down the salad and make it soggy.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Salads are best enjoyed immediately after they are made. This is because the dressing will start to wilt the spinach and the fruit will start to lose its flavor.

Conclusion:

Spinach salad with fruit is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. With so many different fruits to choose from, you can create a salad that is both beautiful and delicious.
