A refreshing and vibrant salad featuring crisp spinach and cucumber, paired with a creamy mint yogurt dressing.
Juice the lemon into a mixing bowl.
Roll the lemon on the counter before juicing to extract more juice.
Whisk in the honey, yogurt, and olive oil until smooth.
Add the olive oil slowly while whisking to create a creamy emulsion.
Chop the mint finely and stir it into the dressing.
Use a sharp knife to avoid bruising the mint leaves.
Cover and refrigerate the dressing for at least 15 minutes.
Chilling the dressing allows the flavors to meld together.
Wash and dry the spinach, then place it in a large salad bowl.
Use a salad spinner to dry the spinach thoroughly.
Slice the cucumber and red onion thinly and add them to the bowl.
For uniform slices, use a mandoline slicer.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
Add the dressing gradually to avoid overdressing the salad.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh salad.
Garnish with additional mint leaves for a decorative touch.
