Now, let’s talk about spinach. It’s become quite popular among my Keto friends, despite some of them never having eaten it as kids. But there’s a good reason for it. Spinach is packed with iron and fiber, making it an excellent addition to any diet.
Today, I have a delicious spinach salad recipe for you. The best part? It’s versatile enough to suit vegetarians, eggetarians, and even meat lovers. You can try it with chicken sausage, mutton seekh kebabs, mushrooms, or half-boiled eggs.
