olive oil
pine nuts
balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper
Directions:Heat some olive oil in a skillet (a few tablespoons, depending on how large a salad you are making) and as many pine nuts as you want. Roast the pine nuts until they are golden brown. Be careful--the timeframe from golden brown to totally burnt is very short!! Pour the hot roasted pine nuts and olive oil (be careful of splashing) over the spinach and toss quickly. This will wilt the spinach a little. Add balsamic and salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
Serves: varied
Preparation time: about 2 minutes
I added dried cranberries, which were both yummy and pretty.

This was really good. It can also be exellent adding strawberries, pears or oranges - even some purple onion!
