Method 3
of 3: Using Your Blanched Spinach
1
Use your spinach immediately if desired. After you remove the excess water, it is ready to serve. Eat your spinach plain as a healthy side, or make delicious recipes with your spinach, such as palak paneer or a spinach salad. Once you blanch your spinach, it will look much smaller than it did when you started out. A large bag of spinach turns into a palm-sized ball. 2
Refrigerate your spinach in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
