I created this basil salad with spinach, tomatoes, and other fresh veggies from my garden that needed to be used up. It is so good, and because it makes its own dressing, it's also very light. The flavor is best when left in the fridge overnight.

- 2 cups fresh baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil
- 1 pound campari tomatoes , seeded and minced
- 2 large seedless cucumbers , peeled and minced
- 1 large red onion , minced
- 3 cloves garlic , minced

Maroulosalata (Greek Romaine Salad)
Maroulosalata is one of the most common salads in Greece. The simple ingredient list shouldn't fool you — it's such a light, crunchy, refreshing salad that's full of flavor. The key to authenticity is to almost shred the romaine lettuce (marouli), rather than tear it into large pieces.
