Strawberry Spinach Salad Recipe

I love spinach! I like to switch up my lettuce in my salads and my go-to is spinach. And since spinach goes with everything, I wanted to make a classic strawberry salad with it… poppyseed dressing and all! You can’t go wrong with this salad combination. It is bursting with flavor and loads of texture and delicious ingredients. It’s requested a LOT in our family, which says something if my kids not only will eat it but they love it! This is a go-to salad for me and so simple to make! This salad is so easy to make, and you can easily switch things up (like add in some chopped up, cooked chicken for some protein!) to make this salad work for you! This is great for lunch, or a get-together, or you can even add it as a side dish to any entree. The colors are vibrant, the taste is delightful and fresh and the time spent making it is worth it.

Strawberry Spinach Salad Ingredients

Using fresh ingredients and delicious toppings, when you mix this salad with homemade poppyseed dressing, you will go crazy! It’s so good. See the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.

Spinach: You can use baby spinach or regular spinach. They will both work great! Strawberries: The strawberries bring the best taste and texture to this salad. You can also use any other berries that you have on hand instead. Fresh Blueberries or blackberries are my next favorite choices! Almonds: I used sliced almonds in this but slivered almonds work just as well. I’ve also made this with other nuts like candied pecans or walnuts. Red Onion: When I slice this up, I like to make sure that my slices arent too thick. It adds such a great flavor but I don’t want a mouthfull of just onion when I mix it up! Feta Cheese: Crumbled feta cheese is my favorite part of this recipe! Craisins: These add vibrant color, texture and a delicious taste.

Homemade Creamy Poppyseed Dressing 

Mayonnaise: The base of the poppyseed dressing is mayo. You could substitute this with greek yogurt if you want a slightly healthier version. Milk: This mixes with the may so that the dressing is not too thick and can be drizzled on top of your greens. Sugar: This sweetens up the taste of the tangy mayo. Apple Cider Vinegar: This breaks down the dressing making it the perfect consistency while adding a bit of flavor. Poppyseeds: These look good and a must in this dressing!

How Do You Make Strawberry Spinach Salad?

Milk: If you have any allerigies or just prefer another kind of milk then you can substitute it in the dressing using soy milk, almond milk, rice milk, coconut milk, hemp milk, or even cashew milk!Dressing: If you don’t want to use poppyseed dressing then try out some balsamic vinegar dressing instead for a strawberry balsamic salad.Mix-ins: I like to change out the ingredients every once in a while to add some variety. Try using raspberries, walnuts, blueberries, pears, goat cheese, blue cheese, quinoa, mandarin oranges or even apples!

Note that the dressing is very thin. It wasn’t a problem, but that wasn’t what I expected. Comment * Name * Email * Website
