For a richer flavor, use high-quality balsamic vinegar. If you don't have a steamer basket, you can quickly blanch the spinach in boiling water for 30 seconds, then drain it well. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing for a touch of heat. This dish is best served immediately to prevent the spinach from becoming soggy.
