"MushroomSpinachSalad" news and stories

Over the last year, I've posted quite a few of my grandma Bunny's recipes here on Slashfood. There was her recipe for Lemon Thing last summer, Zucchini Bread in August, Apple Cake in the fall, Shrimp Curry Improv for those quick weeknight dinners and her recipe for Kheera ka Rayta just last week.

Yesterday, Yumsugar posed the question, "What's your most treasured recipe?" Their query made me realize that I've never posted my favorite recipe from Bunny (both in terms of which one I like to eat the most, as well as which card I favor). I have a very special place in my culinary heart for this card, which instructs the reader on how to make Mushroom-Spinach Salad. I remember being about six years old and helping Bunny wash the spinach and slice the mushrooms for this dish. I can instantly recall how helping make the salad made it that much more delicious to me.

I also treasure this recipe for the physical presence of the card. I love that Bunny marked it with her signature bunny sketch, that she starred it to indicate that it was particularly tasty and that it has a stain just left of center that shows it was loved. I get great joy from having it as a symbol of connection to my personal food heritage.

What's your most treasured recipe?
