Spinach salad with strawberries & poppy seed dressing

by Monika February 24, 2020

Happy Spring! My mom’s Spinach salad with strawberries & poppy seed dressing is a great way to celebrate the season. It’s impossible not to crack a smile as you dig in. It’s bright, colorful and oh-so cheerful.

My Mother, who is famous for so many health-flourishing recipes, made me this salad once as a kick-off day to a cleansing Diet-Week. Hallelujah! If all diets could be so nice — Spinach salad with strawberries will re-calibrate your road to better health with ease. Because of you, strawberries, I will eat spinach every day!

I dress this salad with a vinaigrette made with Trader Joe’s Orange Muscat Champagne Vinegar. (A sweet vinegar, like balsamic, also works.) The strawberries love it. A little lemon and mustard to balance the sweetness, and it’s a home run.

I never tire of eating salads, especially since the varieties are endless. If you require more complexity, or you just want to mix it up, you’ve got options!  Add to the base of Spinach salad with strawberries these options: thinly shaved fennel, cucumber slices, stips of avocado, or springtime chive blossoms.
