fresh_spinach_tomato Fresh Spinach and Tomato - The dark, rich, healthy spinach is the star of this dish. Packed with so many vitamins and nutrients, it is so good for you. We paired it with tomato, and some spice, to jazz it up, and then blended it slighly, until it was good and chunky. The lemon juice, added at the end, really helps the flavors to pop!
