Bad Reputation

Spinach has a bad reputation. It might be from old Popeye cartons. I have recently discovered this leafy vegetable. Where has it been hiding? I really love it! I much prefer it to lettuce. For the past three weeks I have eaten at least one large spinach salad with mozarella cheese daily. My husband likes it too. Even Sarah eats it! We don't even need dressing. It is delicious raw. I must admit that on one earlier occasion I tried cooked spinach. It was hidden in a lasagna-type dish with white sauce. I nearly gagged. Cooked spinach has the most repulsive slimy texture. I vowed to never eat the vegetable again. Now I feel sorry that more people do not respect the amazing qualities of raw spinach. They, like myself, I am sure, have simply never been exposed to a good spinach and mozarella cheese salad.
