Indulge in a symphony of flavors with our delectable Strawberry and Spinach Salad, a culinary masterpiece that combines the vibrant sweetness of strawberries and the earthy freshness of spinach. This salad is not just a meal; it's an experience that tantalizes your taste buds and nourishes your body. With three variations – a classic dressing, a tangy balsamic vinaigrette, and a creamy poppy seed dressing – this salad offers a delightful journey for your palate. Each dressing brings a unique charm, allowing you to customize your salad to your liking.
The classic dressing, a harmonious blend of olive oil, vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard, offers a timeless flavor profile that complements the salad's natural sweetness. The tangy balsamic vinaigrette, with its rich balsamic vinegar and a hint of garlic, adds a touch of sophistication and zest. And for those who prefer a creamy delight, the poppy seed dressing, made with Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, poppy seeds, and honey, brings a velvety texture and a nutty flavor to the salad.
Whether you're a fan of classic simplicity, tangy zest, or creamy indulgence, our Strawberry and Spinach Salad has a dressing that caters to your taste. So embark on this culinary adventure, explore the three dressing options, and discover the perfect combination that suits your palate.
STRAWBERRY AND SPINACH SALAD WITH HONEY BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE
This is a great easy summer salad, with a lot of options as to mixing and matching. Plus the salad looks pretty fancy. You can throw in any summer fruit or berry with this mix, blueberries and raspberries are a good choice, as are blackberries later in the season. The nuts are optional but a pecan or roasted almond adds a little crunch and more protein!

- Wash, hull, halve and slice Strawberries.
- Thinly slice Red Onion.
- Crumble Feta.
- Combine in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
- In a blender, or small bowl, combine Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Raspberry Balsamic Vinegar. I use a 2 to 1 ratio, most recipes I have read call for more olive oil and less vinegar than what I use. Mix according to your own taste. Blend for 15 seconds or whisk together.
- Pour dressing over salad and toss. You only need enough dressing to thinly coat everything. If you have extra in the bottom of the bowl leave it there lifting salad out with tongs. Drizzle any extra on a slice of crusty bread to eat with your salad.
- Plate and top with fresh ground white pepper and basil blossoms.
