Fresh Parisian Salad

This recipe comes from Refresh, a wonderful vegetarian cookbook from the Ontario restaurant, Fresh.
Since it is once again Meatless Monday, I am serving this up for dinner with a vegetarian Greek Gyro
(basically a gyro with no meat, just veggies).  The salad is substantial enough to be a dinner all on its own.

2 c. sugar snap peas
6 mini red potatoes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 t. dill
3 T. olive oil
1/4 t. salt
6 c. spinach
10 Kalamata olives
10 grape tomatoes
2 T. red onion, finely diced
Bring a small pot of water to boil.  Add the peas and cook for 1 minute.  Drain and cool.
Bring another pot of water to boil, add potatoes and cook until tender, cut into 1/8's.
Mix olive oil, dill, salt and garlic.  Toss the potatoes with this mixture, then put into a frying pan
and cook until browned.  Cool.

Put spinach in bowl.  Top with peas and potatoes.  Place 5 olives and 5 tomatoes around outside of salad.  Sprinkle with red onion.  Serve with desired dressing.
