I'm not sure what happened, but my salad turned out mushy. I think I overcooked the spinach.

I tried this salad for dinner last night and it was a big hit with my family. I used frozen spinach, which worked fine. I also added a few chopped hard-boiled eggs to the salad, which added a nice protein boost.
