WILTED SPINACH SALAD WITH ROASTED KUMARA (SWEET POTATO)



Wilted Spinach Salad With Roasted Kumara (Sweet Potato) image

My daughter made me this salad once. She said that it was from the Meal-in-a-minute TV advert but this version doesn't use any Watties products. (Not that there is anything wrong with bottled sauces but I prefer to make my own dressing) This is a nice easy recipe that makes a good side dish to some steamed fish.

Time 10m

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons canola oil
1 small red onion, peeled and grated on a cheese grater
1 clove garlic, peeled and lightly smashed
Kosher salt
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3/4 pound spinach leaves, stemmed, washed and dried

Pour off any water that might accumulate in the bottom of the bowl from wilting and stir in the onion and dressing from the skillet. Add chopped hard-boiled egg. Serve immediately.
