Step 1
Start by combining the spinach, cucumber, tomato, red onion, and garlic in a big bowl. Drizzle in the lemon juice and olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste. Give everything a good toss so the flavors come together. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge. Let it chill for at least an hour, but if you have time, leaving it overnight really lets the flavors meld. When you're ready to serve, give it one last stir and enjoy!
