It comes together in no time at all. My kids even love this salad.
Strawberry Spinach Salad Ingredients
This Strawberry Spinach Salad has just a few simple ingredients.
Spinach – Spinach and berries just go together so well. I usually use baby spinach since it is easier to eat raw. I have also used spring mix.Fresh Strawberries – The star of the show! I like to cut the berries into quarters instead of slicing them. Fresh Blueberries – Blueberries are the perfect subtle costar to the strawberries in this salad recipe. Candied Pecans – In the recipe below we teach you how to make your own delicious candied pecans. Feta Cheese – Feta cheese has such a light and bright flavor. It makes the perfect companion to the berries. Poppy Seed Dressing – Poppy seed dressing is sweet yet savory making it the best choice for this salad. Poppy seed dressing is typically made with vinegar, sugar, dijon mustard, onion, oil, and poppy seeds.
Variations
I love this spinach strawberry salad recipe as written, but I have changed it up a few times over the years. To make this more of a main dish salad, add grilled chicken or sliced avocado. To make it more filling you could add a grain like quinoa or farro. If you don’t like pecans, you can also candy walnuts. Instead of candied nuts, you can use slivered almonds. You can also swap out the feta cheese for goat cheese or gorgonzola. Other berries are great in this salad too – try raspberries or blackberries. Want to add some more savory elements to this salad? Try red onion or red bell peppers. If you’re not a fan of poppy seed dressing, then try a balsamic dressing instead.
