Strawberry Spinach Salad
Salad15 min4 servingsEasyAbout this recipe
A bright, beautiful salad that's as easy as it is impressive. Fresh baby spinach is topped with juicy sliced strawberries, crunchy candied pecans, creamy crumbled feta, and thinly sliced red onion — all brought together with a simple, tangy-sweet poppy seed dressing. This crowd-pleaser works as a light lunch or an elegant side dish for any occasion.
Instructions
- 1
In a small Mixing Bowl, whisk together the Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, Apple Cider Vinegar, Honey, and Dijon Mustard until smooth and emulsified, about 30 seconds.
- 2
Stir in the Poppy Seeds, Kosher Salt, and Black Pepper. Taste and adjust — add a little more Honey if you prefer it sweeter, or a splash more Apple Cider Vinegar for extra tang. Set aside.
- 3
Make sure your Baby Spinach is completely dry (wet spinach will dilute the dressing). Add it to a large salad Mixing Bowl.
- 4
Scatter the sliced Strawberries, Candied Pecans, Feta Cheese, and Red Onion slices evenly over the spinach. Add Almonds if using.
- 5
Just before serving, drizzle the poppy seed dressing over the salad. Toss gently to coat everything lightly — start with about two-thirds of the dressing and add more to taste. Serve immediately.
