Thinking of trying this--thought I would post and see if anyone
has tried this recipe.     

This garlicky salad is a nice way to eat spinach and a great way to get a nutritional boost. Use the best extra-virgin olive oil you can afford. Serve it with our lentil soup for a simple, delicious supper.

Joyce, I kind of moved things around in your post.  The reason being is many people copy and paste recipes to save on their computer and so I made your title bold and put the nutrient values after the recipe. 

This certainly looks like a great recipe.  I will have to try this one!!!  Thank you!

Thanks, Etta,  didn't know how to do what you did!!!

I like spinach ; just saute  mushrooms in olive oil --with or without a little
bacon and then add spinach.

So simple and cook.

But the Dressing on the other one looks like it would taste good and
maybe more kids would eat.

I like fresh spinach but it has been so long since I have tried cooked spinach, I don't know if I like it or not.  Our taste buds change from time to time. 

I love spinach. I will try this recipe. Thanks Joyce.

Recipe looks wonderful, John's favourite veggie is spinach. 

I enjoy it as well.

Yes Etta Sue I will copy and paste it.
