Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Slice the salami into thin pieces.
- Thinly slice the half onion.
- Rinse and pat dry the spinach leaves.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced salami and cook until crispy, for about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even browning.
- Once crispy, remove the salami from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
- Leave the rendered fat in the skillet.
- Add the sliced onions to the skillet with the rendered fat from the salami.
- Cook the onions over medium heat until they become soft and translucent, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper.
- Slowly drizzle in the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil while whisking continuously until the dressing is well emulsified.
- Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet with the cooked onions.
- Pour the dressing over the spinach and onions.
- Toss everything together, allowing the spinach to wilt slightly from the warmth of the skillet and dressing.
- In a separate pot, bring water to a gentle simmer.
- Carefully add the eggs and cook for 5-7 minutes for soft-boiled eggs.
- Once cooked, remove the eggs and place them in a bowl of cold water to cool slightly.
- Transfer the wilted spinach and onion mixture to a large serving bowl or individual plates.
- Scatter the crispy salami pieces over the top.
- Peel the soft-boiled eggs and slice them in half or quarters.
- Place the egg halves/quarters on top of the salad.
- Serve the warm spinach salad immediately while still slightly warm.
Tips:
- For a vegetarian twist, substitute the salami with crispy chickpeas or toasted nuts.
- Make sure to dry the spinach well after washing to avoid making the salad soggy.
- Use a preheated pan to make the salami extra crispy.
- Try experimenting with different types of mustard for varied flavor profiles.
