Ah, spinach! The unappreciated, unloved true superfood. While fads like chia and kale seem to fluctuate in and out of style, spinach is eternally unpopular, and the “hip” foodies wouldn’t be caught dead with spinach in their cart as opposed to the newest fashionable ingredient. And yet, spinach is really extremely nourishing. Lower-calorie than kale, and with a lot more iron, spinach should be a staple in any healthy diet, regardless of passing trends. The thing about spinach is, it’s kind of boring all by itself. So try it in this healthy low-calorie salad with fruity dressing, flavorful pomegranate, tasty Bleu cheese, nutritious almond slices, and featuring a delicious Gardein brand seven grain crispy meatless tender. A yummy way to sneak some spinach into your diet!
