Empty Fridge/Heat Wave Potato Salad


So the recent heat wave in Toronto has made me not want to grocery shop, nevermind cook something and have to turn on a stove. But rain saved the week and here I am cooking again.
Because of no grocery shopping I had a random collection of food in my fridge but, man, success! The Empty Fridge/Heat Wave Potato Salad!

Ingredients:

-approx. 12 small organic red potatoes
-1 bunch farmers market spinach (yum!)
-1 avocado
-4 large cloves garlic (less if you are not a garlic fanatic like me)
-fresh ground pepper
-juice of 1 medium sized lemon
-2 tablespoons(ish) extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

1). Boil the potatoes in small chunks until tender. Drain and put in large bowl.
2). Wash, dry and rip up spinach. mix in with potatoes while still hot so spinach wilts a bit.
3). Cut up avocado into small pieces and add. Dice up garlic and do the same.
4). Add lemon juice, olive oil and fresh ground pepper as a vinaigrette.
Makes about 6 servings

Who knew heat waves could taste so good??
