  2. Bring a small pot of water to a boil, add salt. Add spinach and cook until wilted, no more than 1 minute. Drain spinach into a colander and rinse with cool water to stop the cooking process. Squeeze spinach with hands to remove moisture. Cut into strips.

Recipe Note

This vegan Japanese salad is a great substitute for an Asian seaweed salad. Spinach should be bright green, not overcooked.
