I am trying to find a way to prepare spinach so my younger ones will eat it. I love spinach, but I eat it raw and the kids just won't. Anyone have any suggestions ?

I try to avoid it myself, :) but my wife mixes spinach with cream cheese (I think) to make some kind of spinach dip. She likes it a lot.

I think I've had it in salads, too, and it's as good as any other salad... as long as there's plenty of non-nutritious dressing on it. :)

Sorry if that wasn't too helpful... Anybody want to pitch in some better ideas?

I like it cooked with a litle balsamic vinegar and salt. If you like salt and vinegar chips you may want to give it a try.

Also a nice spinach salad with the hot bacon dressing is quite tasty.

SPINACH SALAD WITH HOT BACON DRESSING



SALAD:

Spinach enough to fill lg. single serving bowl
6 black olives, pitted
1/4 c. crumbled cooked bacon
3 sliced mushrooms
3 thin slices red onion
1/4 c. croutons
2 hard cooked onions, sliced
4 cherry tomatoes, sliced
HOT BACON DRESSING:

2 slices bacon, crumbled
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. ketchup
1 tbsp. chopped onion
1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
Cook bacon until crisp and remove from pan with slotted spoon. Add sugar, ketchup, onion, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce to bacon grease in the pan. Bring to a boil and reduce slightly. Add bacon; pour over prepared salad and serve at once.
