but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely perish.

popeye salad

so, about two years ago i worked at the world famous corvette diner. i have to say they had a lot of very unique menu options(i.e. the dee dee burger which has bacon and peanut butter on it). yes, i said bacon and peanut butter, but while i was working there i fell in love with two items. the spicy fried pickles and the popeye salad. well, i've since stolen their recipe for the popeye salad and would like to share it with you...

popeye salad

fresh bagged spinach(baby or otherwise)
sliced carrots(1/8 cup depnding on how much salad you prepare)
thinly sliced red onion(1/8 cup depending on how much you prepare maybe more or less)
sliced white mushrooms(1/4 cup depending again on your salad size)
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup bacon pieces(either cook and crumble your own or buy real bacon pieces)
red wine vinaigrette(toss the salad with the vinaigrette, adding as much or as little as you like)
*i tend to add a little more bacon and cheese when i make my bowl, but that's up to you.

i hope you try this recipe out because it is seriously tasty!!

  2. At first I was like, why do they call it Popeye salad? For some reason I was thinking it had to have popcorn chicken but then it hit me. I'm a little slow these days (in several ways!). Anyway, it sounds good!
