Prep and assembly

juice of 1 or 2 lemons

1 tomato, diced - 1/2 cup roughly, feel free to add more or less

1 big bunch of of baby spinach roughly chopped - 1 or 2 cups loosely packed when chopped, feel free to add more or less

1/2 white onion finely diced - adjust to taste, I would advise not exceeding 1/2 the onion chopped

Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 1/4 cup roughly

salt to taste - start with 1/4 tsp

black pepper to taste - start with 1/8 tsp

Assembly

1. Juice the lemon(s) and put the juice in your salad bowl. Begin with only one lemon. If it is juicy you likely won’t need the second! Add more lemon juice at the end once the salad is combined to enhance the tart flavour.

2. Dice the tomato and add to the bowl with lemon juice.

3. Finely dice the onion, add to the diced tomato and lemon.

4. Combine well and add some olive oil. I start with about 1/4 cup of oil and add more as needed. Add the salt and pepper - Begin with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper - Adjust to taste.

Serve and enjoy!
