Dash Diet Recipe.......Hot Red Potato and Spinach Salad

I like recipes that are easy to make and don't call for tons of stuff I don't usually have in the house. I wanted to share this recipe from the Dash Diet. I'm fixing this for lunch today.

1 pound of red potatoes 1 can of red kidney beans drained and rinsed
cut into small pieces (about 2 cups) 2 T balsamic vinegar
1 bunch of fresh spinach, stems removed 2 T lemon juice
roughly cut 1/4 t coarse salt
1 T olive oil 1/4 t fresh ground pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced 2 T Parmesan cheese
1/2 red onion cut into thin slices
1 1/2 t dried rosemary

Set a pot of water over high heat and bring to a boil. Place the potates in a steamer basket, lower into the pot, and steam until tender. (about 20 minutes)Then drain them. Place spinach in a large serving bowl and set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and add the garlic, onion, and rosemary. Cook, stirring occasionally until the onion is translucent. (about 5 minutes) Add the potatoes, beans,vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper to the skillet. Raise the heat and continue to cook until it comes to a boil.

Pour the hot vegetable mixture over the spinach leaves and toss until the spinach is coated. Top with Paremesan Cheese and serve hot.

This is a good one for my diet as well as my high blood pressure and an easy one to make.
