SPINACH SALAD WITH LEMON AND MINT



Spinach Salad With Lemon and Mint image

This salad is a snip, but then one would hardly expect a salad to cause trouble. Using a lemon rather than just lemon juice as an ingredient makes for the most fabulous salad regardless of leaves. And by all means, serve it as a starter rather than a follow-up on the main course. It is fresh, sharp, vegan and delicious.

Tips:

  • Select tender baby spinach: Choose young, vibrant baby spinach leaves for the freshest flavor and texture.
  • Wash and dry the spinach thoroughly: Ensure the spinach is thoroughly cleaned to remove any dirt or debris. Pat it dry to prevent excess water from diluting the dressing.
  • Use fresh lemon juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice adds a vibrant and tangy flavor to the dressing. Avoid using bottled lemon juice, as it may lack the same brightness and acidity.
  • Grate Parmesan cheese finely: Finely grated Parmesan cheese will distribute evenly throughout the salad and provide a more consistent flavor.
  • Toast the pine nuts: Toasting the pine nuts enhances their flavor and adds a nutty aroma to the salad.
  • Dress the salad just before serving: Toss the salad with the dressing immediately before serving to prevent the spinach from wilting.

This baby spinach salad with lemon and Parmesan is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that complements a variety of main courses.
