The lutein from the spinach and the flavonols from the onion bolster the nutrition of this side dish. This versatile salad pairs well with grilled fish, chicken, or pork. Ingredients:
1 large red onion, cut crosswise into 12 (1/4-inch-thick) rings (about 10 ounces) |
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil, divided |
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce |
1 tablespoon honey |
10 cup baby spinach leaves (about 10 ounces) |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted |
Directions:
1. Prepare grill.
2. Combine onion and 1/2 teaspoon oil, tossing to coat. Arrange onion on a grill rack; grill 9 minutes or until browned and tender, turning frequently.
3. Combine remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil, juice, soy sauce, and honey in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk.
4. Place spinach in a large bowl; sprinkle with pepper and salt. Add onions. Drizzle oil mixture over spinach, tossing gently to coat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
