Spinach salad with mango vinaigrette.
I was at Trader Joe's in Centreville with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ez_mo yesterday doing my usual thing--browsing aisles and filling my cart with rice pasta. I happened to decide to check out all the vinegars and saw one I hadn't seen before: mango chili vinegar.
It jumped into my cart. I immediately wheeled around and found manchego in the cheese section, then zipped down to the bagged produce for baby spinach.
Tonight, I washed and spun-dry the spinach and filled two plates.
In a small skillet, I heated some olive oil over medium heat. I tossed in several cloves of garlic to sweat. After they started turning golden, I added two generous fingerfuls of red flame raisins and about a quarter cup of pine nuts. I tossed those for a couple minutes until the raisins were just about to burst. I quickly scooped the raisins, garlic, and pine nuts onto the spinach. I whisked the oil with some of the mango-chili vinegar and then poured it over the two plates. A generous grating of cheese, cracked pepper, and sea salt and we were ready to eat.
Oh. My. God. So good. Definitely a keeper.
