Bagged Baby Spinach
This is not a recipe, so don't know if it belongs in this forum or not. Anyway, it is a good idea I had recently. I have just realized how fabulous this product is for making quick salads. Salads are wonderful, my favourite food in fact, and I feel like I have died and gone to heaven because I'm "allowed" to have them all the time with real dressings instead of the low-fat and fat-free nightmares I've had for years. Anyway, like many others I have a job, kids, dh, house, dog, cats, fish and garden to look after and often there is not enough time to cook the way I like to. I wash lettuce and bag it in the fridge and usually the last half goes rotten before I get to it. I have started making salads with the bagged baby spinach (I believe it is .4 carb gms per 1 cup which is pretty darn low), it is already pre-washed and dried, seems to keep forever, tastes fabulous and is far more nutritious than lettuce. At first I thought it was too expensive to use on a regular basis, then I realized that I never throw any out, whereas
I always seem to be throwing gooey lettuce out.
