strawberry spinach salad-
Another name for the Strawberry Spinach Salad should be HEALTHY! The berries are packed with nutrients, protein, and so many other benefits.

The salad is perfect for lunch or a light dinner (you can add chicken for heartier options).
how to make a strawberry spinach salad-
You can totally personalize what goes into this strawberry spinach salad! We used:
- BERRIES- You want to quarter or slice the strawberries and keep the blueberries and raspberries whole.
- NUTS- We used walnuts for the recipe but pecans or almonds may be used instead. Leave the walnuts whole or chop them into desired pieces. For more flavor, toast the walnuts.
- CHEESE- We just love feta in this salad. If you don’t really like feta, goat cheese would work great as well.
- SPINACH- The spinach can be kept as purchased in the store or it can be chopped into smaller pieces. If you don’t enjoy spinach alone, add some arugula to the salad.
dressing for spinach salad-
We used a homemade Poppy Seed Dressing that is a bit sweet and tangy to complete this salad. You will be HOOKED!
To prepare the dressing, all of the ingredients for the dressing to a mason jar, close lid and shake until well combined.
| Because the spinach will get soggy quickly, I recommend adding the dressing to the salad before serving for the best results. |
what other ingredients can be added to the salad?
Substitute or add any of your favorite ingredients to the salad, we kept it pretty basic and simple but you can be as adventurous.
- apples
- peaches or apricots
- sliced avocado
- sliced red onion
- dried fruit like craisins
- quinoa
- cooked bacon
- shrimp
SO!! The combination of sweet berries and savory is just not something I grew up on. We enjoyed very traditional salads with Ranch dressing, ha!
This was totally a new pallet of flavor for my taste buds but I must say – I’m HOOKED!
If you are new to combinations like this one – JUST GO FOR IT!
