This recipe was shared on Facebook with no title, so I gave it one. Oh goodness. Here is a quote from the original post: “This SPINACH-based salad will boost the thyroid gland’s output of metabolism-reviving hormones!”
I also added grilled chicken to this. Makes a great main dish salad that way.

For the dressing

Notes
- I made the dressing separately, so that I could adjust the amount I poured on the salad, if needed.I also added grilled chicken to this. Makes a great main dish salad that way.
