After reviewing Not Yo Mama’s Habanero Pepper Marmalade last week, the recipe about the spinach salad made me hungry (go figure) so I went off to the maket and picked up the fixings for a nice dinner.
Spinach Salad with Not Yo’ Mama’s Dressing
Serves 23 tablespoons Not Yo Mama’s pepper marmalade (habanero or mild)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon Dijon mustard2 cups baby spinach leaves
2 ounces goat cheese, sliced
1 ounce shaved red onion
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecansIn a small bowl, whisk together the pepper jelly, olive oil, salt and mustard to make the dressing. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Let cool.
Place the spinach in a large bowl, and toss with the dressing. Divide between two serving bowls. Top each one with onions, slices of goat cheese, and sprinkle with toasted walnuts or pecans.
Making the dressing was easy - just mix and whisk.
Up close - I used bleu cheese instead of goat cheese, but the effect was just the same.
There you have it, a complete dinner - Bacon wrapped sea scallops, Coconut crusted shrimp, Not Yo Mama’s Spinach Salad and some garlic bread. I’d give you the recipe for the Scallops and Shrimp, but I didn’t make em - just bought them and grilled ‘em. The salad dressing was a great addition and I’m going to be making it again - maybe adding a bit of fresh garlic. It was mild in heat but full of flavor. The flavor was a bit milder then when I tried it on the salmon, but nontheless it was a nice pleasant heat addition to the salad - without overpowering the salad. The dressing was simple and easy to throw together and made the salad go from just a regular salad to a gourmet salad that will impress anyone you serve it to.

Yeah- you can pitch all the rest of that stuff & just leave me the scallops 
Jim, when you see the Cholesterol content in scallops & bacon, you are gonna want to eat more salads. What can I say I’m a health nut.
Everything looks great except, hold the nuts, don’t care for them.
Otherwise, a great looking ” cool ” summer meal !!!!

Something’s going to kill me- might as well be something I like 
As posted in the firehouse:
Eat doughnuts, drink beer, watch TV- you’ll die.
Eat oatmeal, flax seed, work out- you still die and have a lot less fun.
They can be a cynical lot sometimes
Ummm…. I’m a bit of a healthnut myself
Arizona Jack, nuts are high protine and high fat. Good Call
Jim…….You are a bit of a health nut……PA-LEEEEEASE. Flax seeds` are out, Sunflower are in
