What would be a good salad dressing...?

Question

I am serving a simple salad of spinach and pecan pieces alongside beans and cornbread. What dressing would go well with this?

Answer 1

Another possibility would be to fry a couple of strips of bacon until really crispy; break them up into small bits or pieces then add your favorite vinegar to the pan grease and the pieces. I also add chopped hot red peppers.

Answer 2

Nothing to complicated and something to complement the meal as opposed to overwhelm it! Consider:

1. French dressing
2. Dijon Vinagrette (in 1/2 cup olive oil blend 3 T lemon juice, 1 tsp dijon mustard, 1 tsp chopped chives, 1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper, 1/4 tsp kosher salt)
3. Balsamic Vinagrette (Paul Newman's is a nice one!)

Answer 3

A really simple balsamic vinaigrette would be good. Just balsamic, olive oil, salt/pepper. You could mix in a lil dijon mustard too - I think that'd be a good combo with the cornbread and beans!

Answer 4

A Simple little vinagrette
2 parts olive oil
2 parts vinegar ( adjust amounts to your taste)
Juice of 1/2 a lime ( or other citrus),
a bit of garlic
and I love a little goat cheese on spinich as well.
