Baby Spinach Salad With Swiss Cheese Crisps


I love this salad. The dressing is really tasty and easy. Cheese crisps are fun to make, just be careful not to burn them (or your fingers)! You could add other flavors to the cheese crisps, ex. Try it with cracked black pepper and chopped thyme or other herbs - add them as the cheese melts. Enjoy!!

Steps


Over medium-high heat , heat a nonstick skillet.
Add the shredded swiss in small , 1 1 / 2 inch piles to the hot skillet.
When the cheese fries to a light golden color at the edges , about 2 minutes , and can be moved with a thin spatula , flip the cheese rounds and cook another 15 to 30 seconds , then remove from skillet and transfer to plate or rack to cool.
Repeat to form 12 to 16 crisps , 3 or 4 per salad.
Put the spinach in a bowl.
Core and thinly slice the apples then squeeze a wedge of lemon over them to keep them from browning.
Toss the apples with the spinach.
For the dressing , combine the thyme , dijon and vinegar with a whisk.
Stream in the olive oil while continuing to whisk.
Pour over the salad and toss to coat greens and apple evenly.
Transfer the salads to plates and top with the swiss crisps.
