Caprese Salad with Roasted Portabello Mushrooms and Black-Eyed Peas



Steamed spinach is a perfect backdrop for the spicy flavors of the black-eyed peas with onions, sweet cherry tomatoes and mozzarella, earthy portabello mushrooms and basil-infused olive oil, and chewy nuttiness of the kashi salad.

1 cup of spinach
