Instructions: In a 12- by 17-inch baking pan, mix onions with 1 tablespoon olive oil, the garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bake in a 375 degree regular or convection oven, stirring halfway through baking time, until onions are soft and browned, 25 to 35 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix vinegar, apple juice, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add onions, spinach, apples, goat cheese, and pumpkin seeds. Heat remaining 4 tablespoons oil in a small frying pan over high heat. When hot, pour over salad and mix to coat and wilt evenly. Season with more salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.

Comments: Look for green, hulled pumpkin seeds (sometimes labeled pepitas) for this recipe. To toast pumpkin seeds, stir in a 6- to 8-inch frying pan over medium heat until they begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
