About spinach that is! Whenever I am craving a nice large salad, spinach is my go to green. I am not a huge fan of it cooked, but raw is pretty fantastic. I find it more filling then regular spring mix lettuce since it is thicker, but also there are lots of good nutrients for you in it and it tastes pretty awesome. Although spinach salads are a much more healthy alternative to standard lunch fair, if you eat out there are usually a lot more calories in it due to bacon, dressings and sweetened dried fruit. fresh ingredients, including fruit, is always much tastier and better for you. This is a much healthier version.
This salad is quick to put together once you have all your ingredients. Now I am partial to strawberries. I like how their sweetness plays off the tang of the balsamic and the hardiness of the spinach, especially when they are nice and ripe and balanced against the egg. I dont eat pork, but if you wanted to add som lean canadian bacon im sure that would be tasty too!
Look how colorful that is!!
