BEST EVER SUMMER STRAWBERRY SPINACH SALAD



Best Ever Summer Strawberry Spinach Salad image

This is a very simple and delicious salad to make, especially in the summer. My family does not like spinach very much, but they love this dish. Also great to take to pot luck or church dinners as it is a "different" salad. The secret is to find the pale green fresh baby spinach leaves as opposed to the larger, tough, dark green ones in a bag! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 cups lightly packed baby spinach
6 ounces strawberries (1 1/2 cups), hulled and thinly sliced
1/4 cups almonds (1 1/2 ounces), toasted and coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
2 ounces feta, crumbled

Steps:

  • Whisk together oil and vinegar in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add spinach, strawberries, almonds, sesame seeds, and feta. Gently toss until spinach is evenly coated with dressing. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Always use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor. If you can, try to get organic strawberries.
  • Use a variety of lettuces and greens for a more flavorful and colorful salad. Spinach, arugula, and romaine lettuce are all good choices.
  • Don't be afraid to add other fruits and vegetables to your salad. Sliced apples, pears, or blueberries would all be great additions.
  • For a more hearty salad, add some cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
  • Make sure your poppy seed dressing is well emulsified before adding it to the salad. This will help the dressing coat the salad evenly.
  • Serve the salad immediately after dressing it. This will prevent the salad from getting soggy.
