      I think I'll have to try this with a roasted chicken. I know you used salmon but for some reason I think I'd like a spicy roasted or grilled chicken paired with this. I like this post Erica!

      Mmm, I can just taste the lemon in this. What a great way to use spinach - I'll have to remember it!
