Doesn anyone have a good idea for...

 Fresh Spinach? I have a huge bunch of very fresh spinach and I would like to use it in a recipe NOT COOKED. Maybe a sandwich or salad with a bangin' dressing recipe? TIA

I have a spinich dip recipe if you're interested.

It's made with frozen spinach though so I'm not sure whether that makes a differance or not though.

This is a really good one.

This is one I make a lot-it's the only way I can get my husband to eat spinach! The dressing is great on any salad.

STRAWBERRY SPINACH SALAD

1 Tbsp. poppy seeds (optional-I use them when I have them)
1/2 c. balsamic vinegar (I go a little heavier on the vinegar)
1/2 c. olive oil (since I use a little more vinegar, I go lighter on the oil)
1/3 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp. minced onion
10 oz. fresh spinach - rinsed, dried and torn into bite-size pieces
1 quart strawberries - cleaned, hulled and sliced
1/4 c. slivered almonds, if desired

In a medium bowl, whisk together  poppy seeds, sugar, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, paprika, Worcestershire sauce and onion. Cover, and chill for 1 hour.
In a large bowl, combine the spinach, strawberries and almonds. Pour dressing over salad, and toss. Refrigerate 10-15 minutes before serving. (I do this if I'm serving it for company, other than that, we dress it separately on our plate). 4-6 servings. 

We LOVE spinach sauteed in alittle olive oil & garlic.  Just until it's wilted.  Only takes a couple minutes. 

(I saw you were looking to eat it raw, but thought I'd throw this out there just in case )

 Well I'm definitely doing the salads. I've had one similar to the hot bacon one and loved it. I think I will also try making a panini type of sandwich with meat, cheese,some sort of sauce and a pile of spinach. Maybe the bread will protect it a bit from being cooked. I've got a whole bunch so I'll be able to try a lot of recipes. Thanks!
