Creamy Avocado and Spinach Green Salad

A light and refreshing green salad that's perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. The creamy avocado and fresh spinach are a great combination, and the red onion and almonds add a bit of crunch and flavor. The lemony dressing is the perfect finishing touch, bringing all the flavors together.

This salad was inspired by a trip I took to Italy a few years ago. I was staying in a small town in Tuscany, and one night I had dinner at a local trattoria. The salad that I ordered was simple, but it was one of the most delicious salads I've ever had. It had fresh spinach, avocado, red onion, and almonds, and it was dressed with a simple lemon vinaigrette. I was so impressed with the salad that I asked the chef for the recipe, and he was kind enough to share it with me. I've been making this salad ever since, and it's always a hit with my friends and family. It's a great way to use up fresh summer produce, and it's a healthy and delicious way to start a meal.
