Note
This recipe lists only spinach as an ingredient. For a complete "International-style" salad as suggested by the title, consider adding seasonal toppings such as roasted nuts, dried fruits, or a light vinaigrette.
For best texture, ensure the spinach is completely dry before serving to prevent wilting.
This salad is best served immediately after preparation. If prepping ahead, keep the dressing separate until ready to serve.
You can substitute baby spinach with mature spinach leaves for a more robust flavor and texture.
