Alternatives to Spinach?
If you are looking for some dark green leafy vegetable to take the place of your beloved spinach this would be a good time to try Kale. I have a wonderful recipe for a Kale-Avocado salad on my here. Collard greens are totally delicious. For a long time people thought that collard greens were tough and couldn't be eaten unless they were boiled... well, I've found that using them is a steam-fry is wonderful! Don't be afraid to experiment. Swiss Chard is another great leafy vegetable that will give you all sorts of vitamins and minerals. Make sure you steam fry your greens and then add your Olive oil to them after they are cooked... that way the Olive oil doesn't lose it's beneficial qualities. Don't be afraid to use Sea Salt to bring out their natural flavors.I am sure that you've used other greens. I know lots of people that use turnip greens? How about beet greens? Now is the time to pick up some of those exotic greens that you've been meaning to try. Let me hear from you if you come up with some wildly delicious green concoction. I'll print the recipe in my next newsletter. Remember: there is no bad combination of vegetables!!
In Health,
