We're confident you Slashfoodies push yourselves to get your fill of greens each day -- but in honor of today's holiday, we hope you'll pay special attention to this "power-packed" veggie. It's been growing in Spain since the 8th century, and works as well served raw as slightly cooked, in a variety of recipes.
We suppose this green needs little introduction -- you're either a convert or not. Sure, spinach fresh from the can may be enough to make Popeye superhuman. But these spinach dishes promise to pique the appetites of even the spinach-weary:
- Spinach and Flank Steak Salad (pictured here)
- Black Bean Quesadillas with Spinach, Sweet Potato and Chicken
- Spinach and Parmesan Dip
- Spinach, Radish Slaw with Chiles and Pepitas
- Spinach and Pecan Phyllo Mini Tarts
- Spinach Salad with Bosc Pears, Cranberries, Red Onion and Toasted Hazelnuts
- Warm Spinach and Artichoke Dip
- Spinach and Feta Phyllo Triangles
- Garlic Sauteed Spinach with Toasted Pine Nuts

Spinach & Flank Steak Salad - Feast Your Eyes

It's a satisfying main-course salad, especially with addition of black-eyed peas and black beans, but light enough for a warm summer day thanks to the bright, tangy dressing, sweetened with agave nectar (talk about a great secret weapon!).
