- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice until well combined.

- Sprinkle the salad with two dashes of black pepper.
- Toss the salad lightly once more to distribute the pepper evenly.

- The salad is best served immediately while the spinach is fresh and crisp.
Tips:
- Ensure the spinach is thoroughly washed and dried to keep the salad fresh and crisp.

- Adjust the amount of lemon juice and olive oil according to your taste preference. You can start with less and add more if needed.
- For additional flavor, you can add a pinch of salt or some grated Parmesan cheese.
- Serve the salad immediately after dressing it to maintain the crisp texture of the spinach.
