Yes, absolutely! In fact, we eat many different salads that include these two ingredients.

Of course, Cucumber/Tomato both have high water content, making them a healthy add-on to any salad.

Our motto is to eat everything in moderation! Therefore, we would not eat spinach salad every day. However, we do know a few people who use spinach recipes daily. Spinach alone is rich in iron, vitamin A, and folate, which helps keep your digestive health in sound check.

When Spinach is heated, it releases oxalates that could affect people with certain types of kidney stones.
