Directions
- Heat the first measure of oil in a pan. Add the washed spinach and stir fry until it wilts. Remove from the heat, and tip into a colander. Press out the liquid and chop roughly.
- Whisk together the dressing ingredients until emulsified. Toss the chopped, cooled spinach and the diced avocado in most of the dressing.
