   1                    Baguette
   2       tb           Butter
   1       tb           Olive oil
   1                    Clove garlic -- minced

  1. Remove and discard stems from spinach; you should
  have about 8 cups leaves. Place spinach in salad bowl
  with onion, olives, and cheese. 2. In a small bowl
  combine vinegar, oregano, garlic, and salt.
  
  3. In a small pan swirl olive oil over medium heat
  until it is just warm to touch (2 to 3 minutes). Using
  a whisk or fork, gradually beat hot oil into vinegar
  mixture.
  
  4. Lightly and quickly mix hot dressing with spinach
  mixture. Gently stir in croutons. Serve at once,
  offering freshly ground pepper to taste.
  
  Baguette Croutons: Cut baguette crosswise into 24 thin
  slices. In a small pan over medium heat melt butter;
  add oil and garlic. Place bread slices in a single
  layer on a baking sheet. Brush with butter mixture.
  Bake in a 250° F oven until crisp and lightly browned
  (25 to 30 minutes).
