Substitute fresh Rainiers in recipes that call for dried cherries. Spinach salad gets a whole new life that way. Ingredients:
8 ounces thick-cut bacon, cut into 1-in. pieces |
8 ounces baby spinach |
8 ounces pitted rainier cherries |
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar |
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
2 ounces shaved aged manchego cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook bacon in a large frying pan over medium heat, stirring often, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and reserve bacon grease.
2. Put spinach, cherries, vinegar, oil, salt, and 2 tbsp. reserved bacon fat in a serving bowl; toss to coat. Sprinkle with bacon pieces and top with cheese.
