As spinach has been named one, if not the healthiest food, I love to add it into my meals at least once, if not more, everyday. This is a quick and light salad that is a perfect addition to any main course, or by adding grilled chicken, seafood or tofu can be a main meal in itself. Another thing wonderful about this salad is that it is a blank slate for creativity; add any dried or fresh fruit, nuts, a variety of crumbled cheeses or additional mixed greens of your liking to make it a recipe of your own!
