Loaded Spinach Salad

Like many spinach salads, this one features lots of chopped-up hard-boiled egg. But since most of the calories in an egg are in the yolk, we use just two whole eggs, plus the whites from six additional eggs. The result is a rich, eggy, satisfying spinach salad that keeps the calories in check.

I've been making this recipe for months and it's one of my favorites. However, I am not a fan of bleu cheese so I substitute ff ranch and it's delicious. Janie Palmer, Portland, OR	8 weeks 5 days ago

This salad was very tasty. However, recent research has indicated that the lutein in egg yolks is much more effective at preventing age-related macular degeneration than any other source, even spinach. Since both my grandmothers suffered blindness from this condition in their later years, I shudder at the idea of tossing out the very thing that might help prevent it. I prefer to use fewer whole eggs while reaping the benefits of the nutrients and cut down on fat and calories in some other way. Anonymous, Stoughton, MA	8 weeks 5 days ago
I made this salad one day and it was all I could think about the next. I rushed home to devour it and made if for friends again the very next day. As a vegetarian (and a salad fanatic) I look for ways to add protein to my salads to make them more filling. This has the eggs, the nuts, and the high-protein yogurt. The dressing is amazing--so creamy yet low-fat. Anonymous, Washington, DC	8 weeks 5 days ago
