Helpful hints
- One-half cup raw spinach contains 156 mg potassium. One-half cup cooked spinach (measured after cooking) contains 419 mg potassium.
- You may substitute leaf lettuce, or use spinach and lettuce.
- For a variation, add salad dressing to salad and chill 3 to 4 hours before serving. Portion size is 3/4 cup (smaller because the spinach wilts after the vinaigrette dressing is added).
- This salad is delicious using Wishbone® Light Raspberry-Walnut Vinaigrette® salad dressing.
