NOTES : For March, my high-calcium recipe of the month is this multi-textured

spinach salad. It is decidedly green enough to be perfect for a St. Patrick's

Day party, but all of the ingredients are available year round. Also, the

healthy, high-calcium ingredients make it a good choice for adding additional

calcium to your weekly menus. You can add leftover fish, poultry, meat or tofu

and turn it into an economical entree. For an even higher-calcium main dish, you

can top the salad with drained canned salmon.
