Ingredients

Croutons

1 ½ cups (75 g) fresh rye bread, cut into small dice
2 tbsp butter

Dressing

4 oz (115 g) dry sausage, cut into small dice
¼ cup (60 ml) olive oil
2 green onions, thinly sliced
3 tbsp (45 ml) red wine vinegar
2 tbsp immature elderberries (see note) or capers
1 tbsp (15 ml) honey

Salad

6 cups (180 g) fresh spinach, torn
½ cup (50 g) Le Gré des Champs cheese, grated (see note)

Preparation

Croutons

With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
In an ovenproof skillet over medium heat, brown the bread in the butter. Season with salt. Bake in the oven for 6 minutes or until crispy.

Dressing

Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage in half of the oil. Add the green onions and cook until softened. Deglaze with the vinegar. Add the remaining oil, elderberries and honey. Mix well. Let cool for 5 minutes.

Salad

In a bowl, combine the spinach, cheese and croutons with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Note

Picked when they are still green and small, immature elderberries have a floral flavour. Similar to capers, they are salted and bottled in brine. They can be found in some fine food shops.

Le Gré des Champs cheese can be replaced with another firm cheese.
