I was looking for the presence of hearty garlic without the pungent kick, so to take a bit of the raw edge off while still maintaining plenty of its beneficial strength, I finely chopped a few cloves and sizzled them to tenderness in olive oil in a wide pot.
(Full recipe available upon request)
Sea salt, coarsely chopped spinach, and a drizzling of balsamic vinegar followed, with generous tossing. The efficiency of creating a simple, warm dressing in the pot that the greens will eventually fill is quite satisfying.
I added chopped avocado last, and on a whim. It could just as easily not have been added - the salad retaining all its interest - or replaced with diced tomatoes. I think the hint of balsamic was enough of an acidic balance, though.
I shall certainly play with this in the future. Perhaps adding some sauteed cremini or garlic scapes!
