Barbee, thanks for the Wilted Spinach Salad recipe.

I did a slight modification by leaving the sugar out and I added Pecans.

It was delicious.

Well, I'd add that a cup of low-sodium V8 juice a day (900mg. of potassium) has stopped the night time leg cramps that I normally have on my keto diet. I'd wake up with a leg cramp, have to jump out of bed and walk it off *smile*. Now I find that I can sleep all night and not get awakened by leg cramps. So happy that I discovered this one. I had been taking a potassium and magnesium supplement that I've continued to take, but it just wasn't enough to do the job. I may try stopping the potassium supplement when I run out.

I really hate this feeling in the middle of the night when you jump up scalded. When I found out what was the problem, I also started to take supplements, I bought them from Canadian Pharmacy. But later I started to eat healthier food, like bananas, oranges, grapefruits, potatoes every day, and of course, spinach. Now, I can't imagine at least a week without spinach. I like it so much. So, Barbee, thanks so much for a new recipe!
