Tips for Making the Best Spinach Salad:

  • Use fresh, tender spinach: Wilted or bruised spinach will not make for a good salad.
  • Wash the spinach thoroughly: This will remove any dirt or grit that may be present.
  • Dry the spinach well: Wet spinach will make the salad soggy.
  • Choose a variety of toppings: This will add flavor and texture to the salad. Some popular options include bacon, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, tomatoes, and almonds.
  • Use a light dressing: A heavy dressing will overwhelm the delicate flavor of the spinach.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Spinach salad is best when served fresh.
