This was so good. I used unsalted peanuts and natural coconut and loved the flavor combination. Easy to do. Made for ZWT4.

This made a delicious lunch today and I'm sure the spinach was pretty healthy too. I would never have thought to add peanuts and coconut to spinach but it works! The coconut gives it a nice sweetness yet is balanced with the salt as well. Thank you for posting the recipe Parsley! Made for ZWT 4 by a Jefe de la Cocina.
