Meatless Monday: Spinach Salad with Hard-Boiled Eggs

Looking for a great recipe to use up some of those leftover Easter Eggs? Try this fabulous and very simple iron-rich Spinach Salad recipe.

Spinach is high in iron—very important for vegetarians. The citrus in this dressing helps your body absorb the iron better. Don't forget: regular Worcestershire sauce has anchovies (small fish) so be sure to buy the vegetarian kind.
