STRAWBERRY AND SPINACH SALAD WITH BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE
I like the balsamic vinagrette combined with the sweet strawberries and fresh spinach. Unlike most salads with sweet berries the flavors are tangy and mild rather than sugary or syrup-y, allowing the sweetness of the berries to shine through. A little goat cheese on each serving would be nice but is optional. I hope you like it, too.

I found the original recipe on Allrecipes.com, although I tweeked it a bit. The balsamic really adds alot of flavor to this salad and the almonds give it a nice crunch. You could toss in some cooked chicken and call it dinner real easy.

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!

Tips for Making Strawberry and Spinach Salad with Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette
- For the freshest salad, use ripe, in-season strawberries and tender baby spinach leaves.
- If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can substitute red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
- To make a sweeter vinaigrette, add a little more honey or agave nectar.
- If you like a tangier vinaigrette, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine vinegar.
- To add a bit of crunch to the salad, add some chopped nuts or seeds, such as almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds.
