Dish history

The leafy green vegetable we chose for this salad was Popeye's favourite food but, unlike the famous sailor, we prefer to consume it raw instead of having it coming out of a tin! The right time of the year for spinach is from November until March, when it is in season and can therefore deliver its richness in terms of nutrition at its very best: vitamin A and C, copper, potassium, zinc, calcium, phosphorous and lutein (which is good for your eyes) among others. Try out this delicious dish, where spinach meet cheese and nuts, all topped with a yummy vinaigrette!
