My daughter loves spinach salads, and wanted to take one in her lunch. I chose this recipe because she also loves mushrooms. Each day, I'd throw together some spinach, sliced mushrooms, one hard boiled egg, chopped up, and some feta cheese (subbed for the blue cheese). The salad container has a comparment so she can add the dressing at lunchtime. It lasted all week this way, and the salad bowl comes home empty. Several days, I also added a couple sliced strawberries. Thanks for a great recipe!
