Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Spinach: Rinse the spinach leaves thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture. Tear the spinach leaves into bite-sized pieces if they are large.
- Pickle: Slice the pickle into thin rounds or small chunks, depending on your preference.
- Mango: Peel the mango and dice it into small cubes. Make sure it's ripe for the best flavor.
- Cherry Tomatoes: Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Onion: Peel and thinly slice 1.5 small onions.
- In a large salad bowl, add the prepared spinach, pickle slices, diced mango, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced onions.
- In a small bowl, combine 5 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice, a dash of salt, a dash of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. Whisk until the ingredients are well-blended.
- Pour the lemon juice dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl.
- Gently toss all the ingredients together to ensure the dressing coats everything evenly.
- Serve the Mediterranean spinach salad immediately to enjoy its fresh and vibrant flavors.
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture; baby spinach works particularly well for its tender leaves.
- Ensure the mango is ripe for optimal sweetness and juiciness; if it's too firm, the salad won't have the desired balance of flavors.
- Play around with the type of pickles used—dill pickles can add a different zest compared to sweet pickles.
- For added nutritional value and a touch of crunch, consider topping the salad with some nuts or seeds, such as almonds or sunflower seeds.
- If you prefer a bit of heat, consider adding a small amount of chili flakes or finely chopped fresh chili to the salad.
This Mediterranean Spinach Salad with Mango, Pickles, and Tomatoes is a delightful combination of flavors and textures that is as nutritious as it is delicious.
