24g
2 dash black pepper
0.20g

Instructions:

1. Preparation of the Spinach:
- Wash the spinach thoroughly in cold water to remove any dirt.

3. Mixing the Salad:

4. Preparing the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice until well combined.
5. Combining the Ingredients:
- Pour the lemon and olive oil dressing over the spinach and scallions in the large mixing bowl.
- Toss the salad gently using salad tongs or clean hands until the spinach and scallions are evenly coated with the dressing.
6. Seasoning:
- Sprinkle the salad with two dashes of black pepper.
- Toss the salad lightly once more to distribute the pepper evenly.
7. Serving:
- Transfer the salad to a serving dish or distribute it evenly among individual plates.
- 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.

- Finely slice the scallions to evenly distribute their flavor throughout the salad.

- 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.
