Spinach Salad with Warm Parmigiano Reggiano Dressing

After eating pretty heavily most of my recent South Beach trip with some girlfriends, I was more than excited to indulge in some healthy and clean eating when I got home. Since salads fill me up and make me feel good about myself, I opted for a simple spinach salad with a warm dressing. Just in time for swimsuit season. Enjoy!
