A nice fresh, light spinach salad with a touch of dill. I formulated this recipe years ago as I grow some very tasty spinach and dill weed.

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.
