Ingredients:  
1 medium red onion
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
8 cups baby spinach
1/2 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese
1/2 cup dried cranberries
Citrus Dressing:
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º. Slice the onion into thin wedges, through the root end. Toss with the olive oil, season with salt, to taste, and spread out on a baking sheet. Roast until just soft and brown, about 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Dressing:
Whisk the lemon zest, lemon juice, orange juice, Dijon, honey, thyme, and salt in a medium bowl until well combined. Gradually whisk in the oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream, to make a smooth, slightly thick dressing.

Put the spinach and onions in a large bowl. Drizzle with some of the dressing and toss. Add more dressing as needed; spinach should just be lightly coated. Divide salad among 4 chilled plates. Top with pecans, goat cheese, and dried cranberries. Serve immediately.
