    Start by rinsing the spinach thoroughly under running water, then gently pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel. This should take about 3 minutes.

    2

    In a large salad bowl, add the fresh spinach and toss it a bit to separate the leaves.

    Next, chop the walnuts roughly and add them to the bowl with spinach. You can do this in about 2 minutes.

    Take the olives and slice them. Add them to the salad bowl, mixing gently so as not to bruise the spinach. This will take around 2 minutes.

    In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. This should take about 2 minutes.
