Method

Put the spinach, Parmesan, tomatoes, red onion and pine nuts into a large bowl.
To make the dressing, heat the olive oil in a small pan. Add the garlic and cook on a medium heat for 2 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice, white wine vinegar and sugar. Season and return to the heat. Simmer for 3 minutes, or until syrupy.
Pour the dressing over the salad, gently toss together, then serve.
