Ingredients

SALAD BASE

8 Ounces baby spinach

1/2 cup dried cranberries

1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated

SEEDS & SEASONINGS

1/2 cup pumpkin seeds, roasted

1 1/2 tablespoons sugar

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon cumin

1/8 teaspoon ginger

DRESSING

1/4 cup vegetable oil

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

2 tablespoons maple syrup

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Directions

Destem the spinach leaves. Even baby spinach has some stems that are objectionable.

In a large skillet toast seeds over medium heat for 2 minutes stirring often. Add sugar and seasonings. Continue to cook and stir until sugar melts, about 4 minutes. Spread on wax paper to cool.

In a small bowl, whisk dressing ingredients until smooth.

Combine the spinach, cranberries, cheese and pumpkin seeds. Serve with the dressing as a last minute topping.

While this calls for pumpkin seeds it can be made many different ways. We have used sunflower seeds, pignola, or slivered almonds in several different trials. Pick your favorite. The dressing makes the difference.

I love spinach salads, and I am always on a lookout for new variations. This one sounds like a winner...especially with that dressing!
