Orange Zest Spaghetti with Spinach & Arugula

I always thought that fruit did NOT belong in a salad.  Recently though, I’ve tried different versions like spinach and strawberry, arugula and pear and they’re all surprisingly tasty.  Orange was not something I’d ever encountered in a green mix, but paired up with bitter spinach and sweet red onions it ended up being a […]

Vegan Spanakopita
