This recipe for strawberry and spinach salad just screams Summer! Imagine those fresh juicy sweet strawberries and the crisp spinach leaves. Combine that with a delicious dressing and you have a wonderful, great tasting salad.
If you’re going to a potluck, perhaps a party, or a family gathering and you need to take along a salad. Well, this is the one! Simply prepare everything, keep the dressing mixture in a separate tub. When you arrive at your party, give the dressing a good shake and pour over the salad when you’re ready to serve. It’s as easy as that!
Of course, we know spinach has high nutrient properties. This recipe does use sugar, however, if you wanted to be super healthy, feel free to swap the sugar for honey or something else.

17th January 2018 at 1:57 pmI made this for our New Year party. A huge bowl of salad disappeared in a moment. The dressing is really “to die for”! I didn’t have poppy seeds, so I used black and white sesame seeds instead. I also added some feta cheese and thinly sliced red onions. But dressing is the king of this salad! Making it again today with pears instead of strawberries. Thank you!

10th February 2017 at 8:23 pmI make this for most special occasions and events. The only difference is that i use my favorite poppy seed dressing off the shelf at the store and a bit of feta cheese crumbles. Yummy!!!
