Spinach Salad Recipe

This basic spinach salad recipe can be changed up by adding different types of onions, cheese and nuts. The tangy cheeses taste best with spinach. Choose blue cheese, feta, gorgonzola, and other tart types.

Spinach is one of the best vegetables to include on a low carb diet. It is chock full of vitamin A, vitamin K, magnesium and potassium. I try to include several helpings of raw spinach in my diet each week. This recipe is one my favorites ways to eat spinach.
