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.

WATERMELON SALAD WITH SPINACH AND MANGO RECIPE BY TASTY



Watermelon Salad With Spinach And Mango Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: small watermelon, baby spinach, mango, slivered almonds, fresh lemon juice, water, honey, salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil

Provided by Joey Firoben

Categories     Lunch

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small watermelon
3 cups baby spinach
1 mango, pitted, peeled, and diced
½ cup slivered almonds
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon honey
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Using a sharp knife, cut off the top and bottom of the watermelon to reveal the red flesh and create flat surfaces on both sides. Stand the watermelon upright, and slice off the remaining peel so only the red core remains.
  • Cut the watermelon into roughly 1-inch (2-cm) cubes and transfer to a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, water, honey, salt, and pepper.
  • While whisking, gradually add the oil in a very slow, steady stream to create an emulsification. Set aside.
  • Add the spinach, mango, almonds, and lemon vinaigrette to the large bowl with the watermelon.
  • Toss the salad until well-combined, then divide between serving bowls.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your salad. Choose ripe, juicy watermelons, fresh spinach, and crisp cucumbers.
  • Chill your watermelon and spinach: Chilling the watermelon and spinach before assembling the salad will help to keep it cool and refreshing.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A light dressing is all you need to enhance the flavors of the salad without overpowering them.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The watermelon and spinach will start to wilt if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This minty watermelon spinach salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of sweet watermelon, tangy feta cheese, and minty dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
