Please help MN. I was planning a few big salads for a party - ended up with some excess bags of spinach, rocket, cress. Can't face eating them all over the next two days. Is there anything else on earth I can do with them ?

I make a delicious super quick sauce to go with salmon, pasta or chicken.
Chop a bunch of spring onions and soften in butter or oil( takes no more than one minute)
Chop up the bagged salad, not too finely.
Add to the softened onions, put a lid on the pan and wilt it for about 30 seconds or so.
Stir in a tub of crème fraiche,( or use cream, or Greek yogurt)
Simmer for about 2 minutes and Add salt and pepper
It’s delicious and a great way to use up slightly sad bagged salad

That sounds so good. Especially with creme fraiche

Spinach dip that you bake in the oven with cheese melted over
Or Pesto/pisto type sauces, salsa verde type thing, then freeze

You can make couliabac (salmon, spinach, rice and boiled egg in puff pastry).

I make Spanakorizo regularly when I have spinach to use up. It's a really simple Greek rice dish. I had it tonight with some lemon and garlic chicken.
