I am suffering a doubled salad crisis. Not only is spinach my green of choice, the groceries have all stopped carrying my dressing, too! I can make do without one or the other, but both? _sob_

I sent a tearful email to the company that makes my dressing and they will sell it to me by the case. Woo!

Still here! 🙂 What’s silly is that my grocery store kept it stocked through the first week of the scare and\*\* then \*\* pulled it. I still have a little left and I feel like rationing it to last a few days! The only dark green raw thing in a bag was kale. The packaging doesn’t even act like you can eat it raw but I guess I’ll find out.

My farmers’ market spinach salad tasted all the better for having a slightly _forbidden_ aura, like I had scored it on the street and had to eat it on the sly. Although the basket from which I bought it had a sign pointing out that it was harvested in small batches from an entirely different area than Salinas, it wasn’t selling. I had first grab.

I had it dressed with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon and a sprinkling of big flaky sea salt, and savored every bite.
