I love spinach, but it lacks crunch... - What should I pair with it?

[OwO What's This?]

I'm one of those strange people for which lettuce has a taste. I find it incredibly bitter and I hate including it in anything I make. But it serves an important purpose - providing a satisfying crunch. Iceberg lettuce is the best for this, but it lacks any sort of nutritional value.

Spinach, I find, is a much better leafy green to include, but it has no crunch to it whatsoever. I'm curious if there's something I could pair it with other than iceberg lettuce that would give it a crunch. I've already tried cabbage, and while it works well in salads, it does not go well in things like sandwiches I've found.

purée your next burger and get back to me on that

Crisp bacon in sweet, hot bacon dressing.

Good idea actually. I usually like to slightly undercook bacon so it's a bit soft so it never really occured to me to do this. Thanks for the tip!

Sliced radishes.

Chips

 

[NumberingYourState]

Arugula and Sesame Sticks.

 

[hotcheetospuffs]

pistachios or croutons

 

[Shokew]

Mini - Pretzels - in an experimental sense, that'll provide crunch and some decent sodium. Otherwise, I'd chop up some mixed nuts, which is a much more gourmet solution.

Water chestnuts

 

[XYZpdq]

I always go leaf spinach on my sammiches when I put green in them.
Crunchy things that I use include:
raw onion
cucumber pickles
pickled banana peppers
sauerkraut

Anyone who doesn't second my bacon recommendation is literally gay and, much worse, probably some kind of vegan faggot.

Best recipe.

Fuckton of bacon (depending on what kind you might want to remove some of the grease but generally I want to keep it all)
Equal amounts vinegar (I like balsamic) and honey, light molasses, or whatever sweet stuff
Slightly more oil, EVOO will do, though pretty much any oil is fine
Something sour, like lemon or lime juice
Some horseradish, fresh ground mustard, or whatever

Warm all that shit up. It must be served hot. Not boiling or anything, you don't want to wilt the spinach.

No leaves other than spinach.

For the accompaniments, I love tomatoes, mushrooms, capers, anchovies, pretty much anything but weaker, less robust leaves like iceberg lettuce and other shit like that. If you have to add other leaves, how about mesclun greens, arugula, radishes, celery, whatever.

I love spinach and it should be the star of the show in any salad it's in. Do you want to be Popeye or do you want to be Popeye?

 

[Pikimon]

I usually eat spinach with lemon juice, capers and sliced cherry tomatoes.

Idk I like sour stuff

 

[NimertiS]

Make spinach pie for extra crunch. I like spinach pie a lot and spanakorizo (spinach with rice, olive oil, salt-pepper,olive oil and feta cheese).

I don't like raw spinach in salads tho.

 

[Some JERK]

Slivered almonds.

 

[Cheeseburger Picnic]

Bean sprouts.

I started putting them on sandwiches because I buy them for stir fries and noodle dishes and they tend to go bad in about two days. V satisfying crunch.

 

[Feline Darkmage]

is literally gay

I am but I still second your bacon idea.

 

[Pumpkin spice]

Pepitas and sunflower sprouts. That's some good shit right there.

 

[Beaniebon]

croutons, sunflower seeds, bacon, sprouts, chia seeds, nuts, Parmesan crisps.
