In this salad, the fresh leafy spinach is the star, there’s nothing fancy going on here. I was so tempted to add olives or cherry tomatoes, but I resisted and stuck to the recipe. The simplicity was what made this so good. It felt light, yet so flavorful. Even better – I made this 2 hours ahead and left it out at room temperature
