Mediterranean spinach salad with mango, pickles and tomatoes

Welcome to a vibrant and flavorful recipe for Mediterranean Spinach Salad with Mango, Pickles, and Tomatoes. This refreshing salad combines the nutrient-rich benefits of spinach with the sweet juiciness of mango, the tangy crunch of pickles, and the savory burst of cherry tomatoes. It is the perfect dish for a light lunch or a delightful side at dinner, offering a symphony of tastes that cater to various palates.

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.
