Ingredients:

1 cup spinach
30g
1 pickle
16g
1/2 cup mango
80g
2/3 cup cherry tomatoes
100g
1.50 small onion
100g
5 tsp lemon juice
30g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 tsp garlic powder
3.10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- 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.
2. Combine the Ingredients:
- In a large salad bowl, add the prepared spinach, pickle slices, diced mango, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced onions.
3. Make the Dressing:
- 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.
4. Dress the Salad:
- Pour the lemon juice dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl.
5. Toss the Salad:
- Gently toss all the ingredients together to ensure the dressing coats everything evenly.
6. Serve:
- 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. Whether enjoyed as a standalone meal or a complement to your main dish, this salad is sure to impress. Remember to adjust the seasoning to your taste and experiment with ingredient quantities for your perfect version.
