Wilted Spinich Salad with Feta and Figs

This is the perfect dish when Steve's Spinach starts to go off.  The most delicious gigantic spinach ever.

1. Wash Spinach.

2. 1/4 Slice half a medium red onion.  Put in bowl of cold water to reduce "onion-i-ness".

3.In the Salad Bowl, mash a clove of garlic and grind with a little salt

4. Mice some fresh mint and grind some Mexican oregano and mix with garlic.

5. Pit and tear Kalamata or other favorite black olives.  (At least 12 depending on how much you like olives.

6. Pour some favorite vinegar into bowl.  Lately I am addicted to the Ojai Olive Oil White Balsamic Vinegar.  But red wine vinegar is also delicious.

7. Meanwhile, heat some olive oil in a pan and pan toast a few slices of ciabatta or other favorite bread to make "croutons".

8. Toss Spinach into bowl with onions, halved fresh black mission figs, crumbled feta and freshly ground pepper.

9. Heat some olive oil to just before smoking and pour over salad to wilt spinach.  Toss.

10. To Serve, scoop into bowls and place croutons around sides.
