Spinach

Taste: It's mildly bitter and earthy.

Smart Substitutions: Arugula.

Recipe Idea: Perfect for dips, casseroles, sides, salads - you name it. This truly versatile green is a perfect base for any meal - raw or cooked. While baby spinach is more expensive, the stems don't have to be removed, which will save you time when preparing. This mild and healthy veggie won't overpower already-flavorful dishes, such as this dip.
