Hi Manjula Ji,
I checked the site Bed, bath and beyond, however, could not find those cutting sheets that you use. What you call them exactly. Pls reply, so that I can buy from there.
Thanks and regards,

This is one of my favourites! I’d never thought I would like something which contains both spinach and apples… and actually I loved it and I prepare it often. The walnut dressing is exquisite. Thanks a lot!
