- Wash the spinach thoroughly: Spinach can harbor dirt and grit, so it's important to wash it thoroughly before using it.
- Dry the spinach well: Wet spinach will dilute the dressing and make the salad soggy, so be sure to dry it well before adding it to the salad.
- Use a variety of toppings: The toppings you choose for your spinach salad can really make or break the dish. Some popular options include bacon, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, tomatoes, croutons, and cheese.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The creamy vinaigrette dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This makes it easy to assemble the salad when you're short on time.
