its National Spinach Day

[ Edited ]

How do you like your spinach?  I use spinach instead of lettuce on sandwiches.

POPEYE!  Gotta admit, I Love spinach but I've Never had it from a can like the venerable Sailorman.

I too use it for the sandwiches.  And Salad.  Rarely use Lettuce Except in spring when mixed lettuce salad make an apperance.

I like to put my grilled steak on a bed of Spinach to rest.

Yummmm. Mixed with arugula for a salad. And steamed as a side with grilled seafood of choice.

I sauté it in a little olive oil until it's just wilted - a very quick and easy side dish.

I put fresh spinach in salads, soups, smoothies, sammies. Have made spinach pasta before. I think I've had it creamed too. I always have frozen too. Am a fan.

Re: its National Spinach Day

I enjoy spinach only occasionally because it is high in oxalates. 

 

I eat it...

 

As a side veg., sautéed with garlic added, and maybe some  crumbled bacon.

 

As a tossed salad component, mixed in with romaine. 

As an omelette filling with cream cheese

 

In a recipe called Chicken Florentine

Poached eggs with creamed spinach is one of my favorite comfort meals.
