Cooks' Note

Raw is the most nutritious way to eat spinach—and one of the most delicious when served up in this satisfying main course salad. Look for spinach marked “salad,” which has already been cleaned. Use turkey bacon if you’re concerned about the fat in regular bacon. Hearts of palm, which are readily available canned, taste a bit like artichokes.
