This spinach salad makes a rave-review lunch, light supper or dinner appetizer.
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.
This rich, family-size popover could be made with another good melting cheese, such as Canadian Fontina, or a combination of cheeses to augment the flavour. Instead of the packaged frozen spinach, you can use 1 lb (500 g) fresh spinach, blanched, drained and chopped.
Colourful, nutritious vegetables, such as spinach and tomatoes, star in this irresistible vegetarian dish.
