- For extra freshness, refrigerate the salad for about 20 minutes before serving.
- Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until they are golden brown. This will enhance their nutty flavor.
- Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar for the dressing to bring out the best flavors.
- Mix the salad just before serving to keep the spinach leaves crisp and prevent them from wilting.
- Feel free to add other fresh herbs like mint or parsley for an extra burst of flavor.
