<\/a><\/p>\nBelow, we\u2019ve offered five recipes that don\u2019t require a bowl or dressing! But before you dig in, use these strategies to get the tastiest greens:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Look for crisp green leaves when shopping.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Be sure to get rid of any yellow or wilted leaves before using.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0 To clean, rinse spinach leaves under running water until all dirt or residue is removed.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Dry the leaves. If you\u2019re roasting the spinach, be sure to spin the leaves in a salad spinner to get rid of as much water as possible. If you\u2019re cooking them with liquid, as in a soup, you can simply shake off the excess water.<\/p>\n
