9 Nasty Truths About Your Favorite Foods
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Spinach salads are out for the moment, unless you feel like taking chances that even restaurants aren't willing to. Supermarkets are reporting a big drop in salad sales, but there is no reason to cut all greens out of your diet along with spinach. Now is the perfect time to experiment with some non-spinach salad greens. Some alternatives include:
- Mâche - delicate, sweet and slightly nutty. It resembles a cross between young spinach and a tender lettuce.
- Arugula - peppery and sharp. This green makes a great background for salads with sweet fruits or mild nuts in them
- Chard - tender and sweet when cooked. Chard is a great alternative for spinach in cooked dishes (unless you opt for frozen spinach, which the USDA says is still safe to eat at the moment).
- Dandelion Greens - sharper and more bitter than arugula. These are best when mixed with other greens, but choose smaller, more delicate leaves for salads
Romaine and iceberg lettuces can always stand in for other greens in salads, too, and can be a nice base for a salad when experimenting with other greens, particularly bitter greens.

It was the contaminated waters that was used ON the spinach. That could happen to ANY vegetable as they are all washed or rinsed, not just spinach. This is a boon to OTHER types of things grown. People forget bacteria can affect anything we eat!

No matter what kind of salad greens you use you still have to wash them several times before using. I'm sure spinach will be back on the market shortly. Sure do miss it.
