hi everyone!

i was wondering if anyone can help me?😳

i have been to the doctors recently and was told i need to eat lots of iron based food especailly spinach! my mum makes sag gosht etc but apparently all the nutritious benefits of the spinach are lost in these forms of cooking…😭

So basically I was wondering if anyone can give me a website / recipe from where I can learn how to make healthy spinach dishes, especially spinach salad (I love spinach salad esp the one in pizza express😃)

Thanks😃

I can sympathize with you as I have the same problem. Nidhi has given you some website which looks good.

Raw spinach on its own is tasteless 🤢

Another thing I do is take spinach leaves, add pine or any kind of nuts you like, add sliced oranges, any dressing of your choice, cheese etc. It works for me so I hope it works for you also.

Lastly not all the nutrients are lost by cooking spinach as long as you donot overcook it. You can add spinach leaves in your pasta also!!

Good luck 😊

Chicken Spinach recipe:

Mix spinach with crispy chicken, pine seeds, fresh strawberry and some goat cheese or blue cheese. You can substitute with any fruits and any nuts. Try variations. use your favourite dressings.

2nd recipe:

mix spinach with lettuce, use chick peas, mandarin oranges, cheddar cheese, some cranberries (u can use raisins too). i like this salad with Frenh/thousand island or Cranberry walnut dressing.
