Spinach Salad With Cucumber, Tomatoes and Feta

Tip: Place the onion in a bowl, cover with cold water and let sit for five minutes. Drain, rinse and dry on paper towels. (The reason for soaking the onion is to wash away some of the compounds that cause tears and the too-strong onion flavor.)

1. Combine the onions, tomatoes, cucumber, berries, olives, bell pepper, dill and mint in a large bowl.

2. In a small bowl whisk together the lemon juice, salt, pepper and olive oil.

3. Add the spinach, and feta. Toss together thoroughly and serve.

Bon appétit!

Advance preparation: You can prepare the ingredients and dressing several hours before you toss the salad. Keep them in the refrigerator.
