Tips:

To save time, use pre-washed spinach or baby spinach.
If you don't have feta cheese, you can substitute crumbled goat cheese or ricotta salata.
To add a bit of extra flavor, try using Kalamata olives instead of black olives.
If you're looking for a vegetarian protein source, you can add cooked chickpeas or lentils to the salad.
For a vegan version of the salad, omit the feta cheese and use a plant-based dressing.

Warm spinach salad with feta and olives is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It's packed with nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron and calcium.
