She continues to indulge her passion for teaching through Paleo Porn.

I really enjoy cooking and I made this salad for my friend Kathleen’s son Kyle, on his first birthday. It was a huge hit and she’s asked me to bring this salad on more than one occasion.

Kathleen asked me to make it for her younger son, Korey’s, baptism and this recipe kicked off the launch of Paleo Porn! Kathleen’s family was asking for the recipe and I couldn’t help but share. :)

Marla’s Famous Spinach Salad

It really bothers me when I make something really good and then I can’t remember how I made it so Paleo Porn has become my digital recipe box. And I’m happy to share!

To make this recipe Paleo and Vegan, simply leave out the mozzarella.
This recipe is not considered Sugar-Free because traces of sugar can be found in balsamic vinegar.
