Simple Spinach Salads are my favorite side dish. They are quick, easy to prepare and delicious. Spinach is my favorite salad green by far. Not only does it taste great, but it is one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet. One cup of spinach has more than 20 vitamins and mineral with only 40 calories. I like it fresh and wilted. You just can't go wrong with Spinach!
The simple salad shown above only contains sliced strawberries, crumbled goat cheese and spinach. Why spend time cooking veggies when you can make a delicious, fresh salad in less than 5 minutes. This salad is great by itself or with several dressings including balsamic or raspberry vinaigrette.
Most kids like the taste of spinach, because it is not bitter. I started my children on simple spinach salads made with berries, grapes (cut in half) or cherry tomatoes. Now they prefer spinach over other less health choices of greens.
I challenge you to have a simple spinach salad as a side dish at least twice per week. Not only will you save time, but you will improve you health. Let me know what combinations you and your family enjoy!
