Say yes to spinach! This is a great way to have spinach. I diced the eggs and tossed them with the salad.

The splenda was a wonderful change...exactly what I was looking for!

I used Splenda to reduce the carbs a bit and calculated the nutrition profile. This makes the recipe more diabetic-friendly. [I made edits to this recipe.]
