The recent e-coli worries regarding spinach grown in California reminded me that there are plenty of other leafy greens to choose from!
I relied on spinach for way too long. When they took it off the shelves, I freaked out. But it gave me a great opportunity to remember some of my old favorites that I've been passing by each week as I grabbed for my old reliable. For example, I had a tasty butter lettuce salad. I had forgotten it's creamy, soft texture and wonderful light flavor. I also had some steamed kale, which is great with a little soy sauce and sesame seed oil. It's nice to remember some of those tasty greens I normally don't do because spinach is just so easy and available. I actually didn't mind when it wasn't available. But I'm glad it's back!!
