review: This was fantastic as a side for baked potatoes. The sweet-and-sour tang of the dressing compliments the fresh spinach taste beautifully. I didn't use green onion tops to tie the spinach bundles, as they stayed together without any trouble. I'll definitely make this for company, as it makes for such good presentation!
