For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle heat. If you don't have fresh spinach, you can substitute it with other greens like kale or lettuce. Make sure to remove the cucumber seeds to prevent the salsa from becoming too watery. The salsa is best served chilled. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
