These days the only way I’ll take my spinach is in a glass, either as part of a smoothie or juice blend. Then I ran across this salad recipe in bon appetit. Now I’m reconsidering and might even be motivated to have a little dinner party. (If you’ve been gone for a while I’m single and on some sort of cooking strike.)
