Kumquat Spinach Salad

This is a delicious salad recipe using kumquats. I don’t have exact measurements because I made it while helping a caterer with a wedding reception.

Spinach – fair amount
Toasted pecans – my guess…about ¼ to 1/3 cup
Feta cheese – my guess…about 1/3 to ½ cup
Kumquats – (remove seeds), thinly sliced.

Poppyseed dressing:

1 cup Sugar
3 tsp. ground mustard
1 tsp. salt
2/3 cup rice vinegar
¼ cup chopped onions

Blend all of the above ingredients (5) in a blender.

Add to the above mixture slowly:

2 cups olive oil (I used 1 cup water and 1 cup oil but it doesn’t stick quite as well).

Add 2 Tablespoons poppyseeds.

Blend again. Add enough to the salad ingredients based on your own personal liking (I didn’t use all of the dressing.)
