You can pick up iron and beta-carotene from spinach, collards, rappini, Swiss chard and other dark leafy vegetables. When cooked quickly in a hot pan with the lid on, and with just the water clinging to their leaves, these vegetables lose very few nutrients. This easy dressing enhances the delicate taste of spinach.
