baby leaf spinach ideas

They are great on sandwiches too, especially with tuna:flowerforyou:

Spinach & mushroom pasta with chicken or shrimp

add it to lasagne or on pizza as a topper with Roma tomatoes. Add it to any sandwich. I love my salad with a hard boiled egg and shredded cheddar with lite honey mustard dressing. love my spinach!

Side dish- Sautee pan. A lil olive oil, Fresh garlic. Toss in spinach and let it wilt. A lil salt. Nom.

Or, pasta with some olive oil and garlic, tons of veggies like your spinach. Slice up some italian sausage (turkey or regular, whichever you prefer), toss em together.

Soups - chicken broth, random veggies from fridge, add chicken, diced ham, turkey, rice whatever.

Ok, responding to this has inspired me to cook lunch now. Thanks! haha

love baby spinach, heres some ideas, feta cheese, sundried tomatos, home made honey and mustard dressing,

Bacon, Mozzarella, Spinach Sandwich

2 strips cooked bacon
slice fresh mozzarella
sautee your spinach leaves
slice of tomato
2 slices whole wheat bread

I heat mine up in a panini maker, it's delicious! You can leave off the bacon if you want it healthier. But it makes a great week day lunch

I like to sautee it with mushrooms and onions and put it in a whole wheat tortilla with a little bit of fat free cheese. Delish.

I make my breakfast smoothie every morning with spinach and you cannot taste it I SWEAR. Just add it to a berry smoothie recipe and you're all good

+1 on the Green smoothe but WITHOUT the green colour. Use frozen mango, frozen blueberries, water and spinach and you'll have a purple smoothie that doesn't taste like spinach due to mango's high sugar content or look like it. Fresh blueberrie cause the smoothie to have a freckled and green look - not very appetizing

I also made these at at pot luck in 2010 and it was well received. Here is my photo;


Tuna Salad Appetizers

1 can Clover light tuna in water
¼ cup chopped celery
¼ cup chopped red or while onion
¼ cup broccoli florets
2 tbsp Miracle Whip Non-Fat Dressing
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
16 spinach leaves
Fresh ground pepper

Directions: Drain tuna. Mix all ingredients together and spoon onto freshly washed spinach leaves. Makes approximately 16.

WW Points: 0

* If you eat all 16 its 3 WW points or if you use the more commonly found Miracle Whip Light 30 cal per tbsp its 4 WW point for all 16.

This is what I do and LOVE it.

In a bowl, add spinach, spray with olive oil, microwave for 30 seconds. Top with fresh squeezed lemon juice and fresh parmesan. Voila! Fast and so yummy. I make a HUGE bowl

I made a spinach saute last night! It was wonderful.

I kind of just estimated everything, but, this is what I did:

3 cloves roughly chopped garlic
3/4 of a LARGE container of fresh spinach (those plastic pre-washed ones)
1/4 of a red onion- diced
a "splash" of red wine
cooking spray
baby mushrooms
1/2 lime

First, I sprayed the pan, sauteed the onion and mushrooms (I used the petite ones, so I just cut them in half), added the garlic, added a little wine, added the spinach and let it wilt for a few minutes. I used the juice of half a lime, cooked a few seconds longer and sprinkled with lemon pepper. My fiance actually loved it, and he usually doesn't like spinach!

sprinkle balsamic vinegar on 1.5 cups spinach. cut up 6 cherries (they have them at costco now, but you can also use craisins all year round) and 3 oz chicken breast from rotisserie chicken. Top with 1 tbsp (I use cibo naturals from costco) pesto sauce and mix it all up. It's the pesto that makes the salad! so much better taste than any dressing I use.

a little sweet, and little savory , and only about 300 calories
