Reviews
This is a great salad. I did not use the wheat penne, but that was just a personal preference.
It looks like would be good. I have use penne for alot of different thing,but never thought oa salad.
I have a very similar recipe using escarole. Using olive oil you toast the pine nuts and remove. Put garlic in and saute till translucent add the escarole and saute till it starts to wilt. Add the balsalmic. I will try it with spinach.
