STRAWBERRY SPINACH SALAD



Strawberry Spinach Salad image

If preparing this salad ahead of time, add all the ingredients to the vinaigrette with the exception of the spinach, then add the spinach on top and let stand until ready to toss.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 cups lightly packed baby spinach
6 ounces strawberries (1 1/2 cups), hulled and thinly sliced
1/4 cups almonds (1 1/2 ounces), toasted and coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
2 ounces feta, crumbled

Steps:

  • Whisk together oil and vinegar in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add spinach, strawberries, almonds, sesame seeds, and feta. Gently toss until spinach is evenly coated with dressing. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries, but thaw them completely before using.
  • Choose the Right Greens: Baby spinach is a great choice for this salad, but you can also use other greens like arugula, mixed greens, or baby kale.
  • Make the Dressing Ahead: You can make the maple vinaigrette dressing ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
  • Add Nuts or Seeds: For an extra crunch, add some chopped walnuts, almonds, or sunflower seeds to the salad.
  • Serve Immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it's made. The strawberries will start to wilt if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This spinach strawberry salad with maple vinaigrette is a delicious and refreshing salad that's perfect for spring or summer. It's packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it's also low in calories. The maple vinaigrette dressing is a perfect complement to the sweet strawberries and peppery spinach. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
