2. In a small bowl, whisk together the horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, hot sauce (if using), olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper until well combined to make the dressing.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, celery, cucumber, red onion, baby spinach (or arugula), and halved pickled olives.
4. Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to coat evenly.
5. Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual plates, and garnish with fresh dill sprigs on top.
6. Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or side dish.
