Remember the wonderful asparagus salad recipe I posted over the summer? Well, asparagus is really expensive right now, but I still found myself craving the combination of roasted red pepper, red onion, olive, and goat cheese. Switching out the asparagus for baby spinach is one of the best ideas I’ve had in a while. I just made the dressing as usual and added the peppers, olives, and goat cheese as salad topping.
A word of warning: brushing your teeth is an absolute must after eating this salad.

An avid reader of your blog via FB (KD) cued me in that you’d made this substitution. Sounds like an excellent option for when asparagus isn’t in season. We’ll definitely be trying it (and maybe we’ll ask you to bring it to dinner next time)!
