A few months ago I visited the Popover Cafe on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Without exaggeration, I can say that my spinach salad was one of the BEST that I have ever eaten. The base was a mound of spinach topped with thinly sliced red onion, creamy goat cheese, 4 strips of crisp bacon, roasted pear, orange and strawberry slices, and candied walnuts.

On the side, I enjoyed the cafe’s signature popover with fresh strawberry butter. The popover reminded me of a buttermilk biscuit-croissant hybrid. So flaky and delicious!
