Greek-ish Spinach Salad (No cheese needed)

Organic Baby Spinach - I used about 6 large handfuls

Organic Red Onion - sliced and diced or in strips (you could probably saute it quickly in a pan real quick if you want a warmer salad)

Organic Hass Avocado - I used a whole large one, diced and scooped from the rind

Organic Pitted (or pit them yourself) Kalamata Olives

Organic Cherry Tomatoes, or Roma (quartered)

Lots of Organic Fresh Basil (roll up the leaves, then slice the roll in 1/4 wide pieces, sprinkle on salad)

Artichoke Hearts - marinated and quartered (I used Native Forest brand in small glass jar) - I chopped them up so they would distribute throughout the salad better

Something I did not add, that would be lovely in this salad, is some diced Organic Baked/Grilled Chicken Breast. If you have any leftover cooked chicken in your fridge, now's the time to use it up!

For the dressing:

I poured about a cup of Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil into a cup, added a large clove of Garlic that I had pressed in a garlic mincer, about 1/4 cup of Organic Balsamic Vinegar, and Fresh ground pepper to taste.  Stir it all up, taste, then drizzle over salad to your liking.  I see no need for salt in this recipe.  The artichokes are already marinated in some sea salt, and the garlic gives the salad a lot of zing too.  Adding more salt is less healthy, and redundant in my opinion.  You do what you like though!  Enjoy!
