Ingredients:
1 medium tart apple
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups thinly-sliced onion rings, any type
1½ teaspoons cumin seeds
½ pound cleaned, stemmed spinach leaves, in a large bowl
½ teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
1. Cut the apple into thin slices onto a plate and drizzle with 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Cover the plate tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
2. Heat the oil in a medium-size skillet. When it is very hot, add the onion rings and cook over high heat for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle in the cumin seeds and cook for just a minute longer.
3. Add the hot onion and cumin mixture to the spinach, and toss until thoroughly mixed. The spinach will begin to wilt. Make sure you include every bit of the oil. Sprinkle with salt as you toss.
4. Gently mix in the chilled apples and the lemon juice. Grind a generous amount of pepper, toss gently again and serve right away.
