Acorn and Woodland Salad

See my note on acorns here.

raisins
cubes of bread
oil
pine nuts, or chopped almonds, or chopped hazelnuts
spinach, or other hearty greens
minced garlic
salt
pepper

Put the raisins in a bowl with hot cover covering them and set aside.

Heat a tiny bit of oil in a frying pan and sautee the bread cubes until hey are golden and toasted. The bread should absorb all the oil. Remove from the pan and put in the bottom of the serving dish.

Put a tiny bit more oil in the frying pan and add the nuts, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds to lightly toast them. Then add the spinach and a tiny bit of garlic, stirring constantly until the spinach starts to wilt. Drain the raisins and add them to the pan, stirring to mix. Remove from pan and place on top of the croutons, sprinkling with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs. Serve warm.
