CHILI LIME VINAIGRETTE DRESSING
I got this recipe from a lady who always serves it with a grilled salmon and leafy greens salad, using feta crumbles, red onions, and carrots. If you don't want it as spicy, you can cut back on the red pepper flakes but we love it just the way it is.

SPINACH SALAD WITH LEMON AND MINT
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:
- For the best flavor, use fresh spinach. If you only have access to pre-washed spinach, be sure to dry it thoroughly before using.
- To make the salad more substantial, add some cooked protein, such as grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
- If you don't have any lime juice, you can substitute lemon juice. However, lime juice has a more tart and refreshing flavor.
- If you like spicy food, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dressing.
- Serve the salad immediately after making it, as the dressing can wilt the spinach if it sits for too long.

This spinach salad with chili lime dressing is a healthy and refreshing dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is packed with nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, and is also a good source of fiber.
