Salad Base

Sautéed Mixture

Method

Preparation of Salad Base

  1. 1

    Prepare Lettuce

    Wash the lettuce thoroughly under running water. Tear or chop it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Prepare Pita Bread

    Cut the pita bread in half to form pockets. Optionally, you can toast them lightly in a toaster or on a skillet for added crispness.

Sautéed Spinach Mixture

  1. 3

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until the onions are translucent.

  2. 4

    Add Mushrooms

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender.

  3. 5

    Add Spinach

    Add the fresh spinach to the skillet. Stir gently until the spinach wilts down, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 6

    Season the Mixture

    Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the sautéed mixture. Stir to combine evenly and remove from heat.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    Spoon the sautéed spinach, mushrooms, and onions mixture over the bed of lettuce in the salad bowl.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the salad immediately with the prepared pita bread on the side. Enjoy your sautéed spinach salad!
