Ensalada de Maíz y Espinacas (Corn and Spinach Salad)
Brighten up your dinner table with this refreshing and nutritious Corn and Spinach Salad!
First, rinse the spinach leaves under cold water to remove any dirt, then gently pat dry with a paper towel.
In a large mixing bowl, add the spinach, drained corn from the can, and diced red onion. Mix them lightly with your hands to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper until they are well blended.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture and toss everything together gently to ensure the spinach and corn are coated in the dressing.
Allow the salad to sit for about 5 minutes before serving; this will help the flavors meld beautifully.
Serve the salad in individual bowls and enjoy!
