My dog ate spinach & peas. Is green poop normal? Can he eat it weekly?

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 1 year old | 20.08 lbs

I gave him spinach with chicken, rice, peas and carrots 3 days ago. Is this a good food for them? Starting to poop green yesterday and today. Should I be worried? I want to start giving them that at least once a week. Is it healthy enough?

It's fine to give Boo this food as an occasional treat, such as once a week like you mentioned. He's likely pooping green due to the spinach and peas, so I would not be concerned about it given his recent diet :-)
