Tips:

- Ensure the spinach is thoroughly washed and dried to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.

- You can soften the sun-dried tomatoes by soaking them in warm water for a few minutes if they seem too tough.

- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper or a pinch of sea salt.

- To make the salad more filling, consider adding some grilled chicken or quinoa.

- If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, use roasted garlic instead of raw garlic cloves.

- Feel free to substitute the currants with raisins or dried cranberries for a different flavor profile.
