Simple Spinach Salad

I'll be the first to admit that when it comes to eating my vegetables I usually prefer them to be cooked then in salad form.  But sometimes I just want a quick easy side dish for a meal and salads are always easy to toss together in a pinch.  My uncle actually alerted me to the flavors in this salad and I made it in less than 2 minutes at lunch today. It is simple but flavorful and extremely easy to make.

Simple Spinach Salad: Serves 1

1tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1.5tsp Lemon Juice
Pinch Pepper
Pinch Sea Salt
1TB Parmesan Cheese - Shaved or Shredded
2C Fresh Spinach

In the bottom of your salad bowl mix the oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper together with a whisk or a fork until the oil has incorporated completely with the juice. Toss in the spinach and gently toss to coat the leaves. Top with the parmesan cheese and enjoy!
