14 Spinach Salad Recipes That Are Hearty Enough for a Fast Weeknight Meal

Spinach may taste fantastic when sautéed, but it’s even better when tossed with a few flavorful ingredients (and a homemade dressing!) and enjoyed fresh in a salad. Spinach is dense and hearty which means it can stand up to rich toppings like steak or bleu cheese, and it’s an easy ingredient to use when you want to whip up a quick and healthy dinner that will leave you feeling full and nourished. One of our favorite recipes? This entrée-worthy take. Hard-boiled eggs, mushrooms and bacon make it extra satisfying. Whether you enjoy this salad for lunch or a full dinner, it’s full of flavor thanks to the Dijon mustard and red wine vinegar dressing.
