Ingredients
- 1 medium red onion
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Citrus Dressing, recipe follows
- 8 cups baby spinach
- 1/2 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
- 1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey, plus more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Slice the onion into thin wedges, through the root end. Toss with the olive oil, season with salt, to taste, and spread out on a baking sheet. Roast until just soft and brown, about 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Put the spinach and onions in a large bowl. Drizzle with some of the dressing and toss. Add more dressing as needed; spinach should just be lightly coated. Divide salad among 4 chilled plates. Top with pecans, goat cheese, and dried cranberries. Serve immediately.
- Whisk the lemon zest, lemon juice, orange juice, Dijon, honey, thyme, and salt in a medium bowl until well combined. Gradually whisk in the oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream, to make a smooth, slightly thick dressing.

Reviews
Really a great salad. I swapped the greens for baby arugula. Dressing is so fresh.
