Notes
*If you want to use frozen spinach, you will only need about half as much, since frozen spinach is compressed and a little goes a long way!
**To make this recipe vegan, use a vegan mayonnaise and your favorite alternative to honey, such as agave.
***If the dressing thickens in the refrigerator, you can whisk in a little cold water, additional lemon juice, or apple cider vinegar to loosen it up to your liking for an easily-pourable salad dressing consistency.
