Dinner Spinach Salad

July 09, 2013

I came up with this salad one night when we wanted more than "just a salad". It turned out delicious!

1 large sweet onion
2-3 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon sugar
10-12 oz package spinach leaves
1 can Northern beans, drained and rinsed
1 roasted bell pepper, cut into strips
4-8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds
1 can mandarin oranges, drained (save the juice)

Dressing:
Juice from mandarin oranges
1 teaspoon mustard
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon roasted garlic seasoning (optional)
1/3 cup rice vinegar
3/4 teaspoon Montreal Steak seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Emeril's seasoning

Slice the onion thin and then in half. Place in large saute pan with butter. Cook until the onions begin to wilt and begin to brown, then add the sugar. Continue to cook the onion, cooking over medium...
