Ready in just about 20 minutes, this is a hearty and filling salad that can be served as a complete meal for lunch or dinner. Spinach is one of the most nutrient-rich plants; it contains high amounts of magnesium which increases the serotonin level in the body and help reduce the risk of depression and anxiety. Grape tomatoes are perfect for this salad because they’re small, flavorful, and more fleshy than watery.
