Time for me to review a couple more Rachael Ray recipes. People hate her, but she has great quick recipes that are relatively healthy. So I'm reviewing her spinach salad and one of her salmon recipes. The salmon was a hit, but the spinach salad needed nuts (which I added), and twice the amount of dressing. Otherwise it was a good salad.
Baby Spinach Salad with Mandarin Orange and Red Onions
Ingredients:
8 ounces baby spinach
1 cup mandarin oranges
1/2 cup red onion slices
1 tablespoon orange marmalade
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/3 cup evoo
salt and pepper to taste
Method:
Step 1: Arrange spinach in a large serving bowl
Step 2: Top with mandarin oranges and red onion (and nuts)
Step 3: Whisk marmalade and vinegar together, then add olive oil

Well-Dressed Salmon

2 small plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped up in 1/4 inch pieces
1/4 red onion finely chopped

1/4 cup white wine vinegar (I recommend using a bit less)
1/2 cup evoo
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup finely chopped dill
salt and pepper
4 salmon fillets
Old Bay seasoning
Method:
Step 1: Combine cucumber, tomatoes, and half of the red onion, then set aside
Step 2: In another bowl, whisk together mustard, sugar, vinegar and remaining onions
Step 3: Slowly add in oil while whisking, then dill and salt and pepper
Step 4: Season salmon with black pepper and old bay

Step 6: Place salmon rounded side down onto pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side
Step 7: Plate salmon and add tomato/cucumber relish and dill sauce on top
