I just had the best salad tonight with spinach and I have to just say how much I love it now. If you asked me a month ago if I would eat a salad that the only leafy green in it was spinach I would of told you that you were out of your mind.
But I tried fresh spinach 2 weeks ago at a farmers market and I haven't looked back. I love all the new veggies I'm trying now, spinach, zuchinni, artichoke, califlauer, etc. It's so great!!!

I loooove spinach too! It's so much healthier than the standard iceberg lettuce many people use. I like spinach the most, but also use red-leaf and green-leaf lettuces (different from iceberg), romaine, and other leafy greens like Kale and Chard.
You should try using spinach in other ways, too - I mix it in with my scrambled eggs and also add it to my fruit smoothies. I think it adds a good flavor to the eggs and you can't really taste it in the smoothies - bonus vitamins! :drinker:0 -

spinach, TOO!!! I put it on sandwiches, in eggs, saute it with a ton of garlic, feed it to my children (even my cat will eat it!). And it's a great filler in pesto, too, to add moisture and a vibrant green! And it grows like CRAZY!

A great way to prepare spinach (because i love it too) is too cook chicken breast in a pan. Add canned tomatoes (with juice) and spinach once the chicken is almost completely cooked. Add salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you like. Cover and cook until spinach wilts/chicken is cooked through. I don't personally like it, but you could sprinkle with parmesan cheese if desired.

I love spinach, too! Its my leafy green of choice. I pile up to 3 cups of it into my morning smoothies. My kids gobble it up without a clue that their eating "healthy stuff". lol0

I love spinach! I like to have it in a salad with candied pecans, apples and balsamic
We also have an awesome farmer's market here in Anchorage! And while I'm on the subject I never thought to use spinach in a smoothie! I have however, made an avocado smoothie with banana, yogurt, juice and honey.
