Wilted Spinach Salad With Chicken and Honey Mustard Dressing
This Recipe Is:
A wilted spinach salad, simple and nourishing, offers an excellent way to incorporate fresh greens onto your supper table. Heating the spinach very slightly, as in this wilted spinach salad recipe requires, provides a dual purpose: not only does it make the dish more suitable for cold days when fresh, raw greens can be unappealing, but it also helps to mitigate the effects of oxalic acid – an anti-nutrient naturally found in spinach and other greens.
