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.

Steps:

- 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:
- For the best flavor, use ripe and juicy watermelon.
- Choose fresh, tender spinach leaves. Avoid any leaves that are wilted or bruised.
- Use a variety of mint leaves for a more complex flavor. Spearmint, peppermint, and chocolate mint are all good options.
- If you don't have any fresh mint, you can use dried mint leaves. However, fresh mint will give you a more intense flavor.
- Add a squeeze of lime juice to brighten up the flavors in the salad.
- Serve the salad immediately after making it. This will prevent the watermelon from becoming watery.
