It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

A quick slaw recipe made with fresh zucchini, yellow squash, carrots, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes and tossed with a light vinaigrette.
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 pound zucchini, julienne-cut
1/2 pound yellow squash, julienne-cut
1/2 pound carrots, peeled and julienne-cut
1 medium cucumber, julienne-cut
1/2 pound cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
salt, to taste
Combine the onion, zucchini, yellow squash, carrots, cucumber, and tomatoes in a bowl. In a measuring cup, whisk together the olive oil and vinegar, adding salt as desired.
Pour the vinegar-oil mixture over the vegetables and toss them to coat in the dressing.
Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill before serving.

The julienning process takes a few minutes but the results are worth it. The recipe is simple, but delicious.
