STRAWBERRY AND SPINACH SALAD WITH BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE
I like the balsamic vinagrette combined with the sweet strawberries and fresh spinach. Unlike most salads with sweet berries the flavors are tangy and mild rather than sugary or syrup-y, allowing the sweetness of the berries to shine through. A little goat cheese on each serving would be nice but is optional. I hope you like it, too.

STRAWBERRY AND SPINACH SALAD WITH HONEY BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE
This is a great easy summer salad, with a lot of options as to mixing and matching. Plus the salad looks pretty fancy. You can throw in any summer fruit or berry with this mix, blueberries and raspberries are a good choice, as are blackberries later in the season. The nuts are optional but a pecan or roasted almond adds a little crunch and more protein!

Steps:
- Whisk together the sugar, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, sesame oil, dried onion, paprika, oil and vinegar.
- Refrigerate until chilled.
- In a salad bowl, toss spinach and strawberries with some of the dressing.
- You will have more dressing than you will need.
- Sprinkle with sliced almonds if desired.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender spinach. Wilted or yellowed spinach will not taste as good and will not hold up well in the salad.
- Toast the hazelnuts. Toasting the hazelnuts will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar. The balsamic vinegar is the key ingredient in the dressing, so make sure to use a good quality one that has a rich, complex flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the salad. When assembling the salad, don't overcrowd the bowl. This will make it difficult to toss the salad and the dressing will not be evenly distributed.
- Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The dressing will wilt the spinach if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
This spinach and hazelnut salad with strawberry balsamic vinaigrette is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet strawberries, crunchy hazelnuts, and tangy balsamic vinegar is sure to please everyone. The salad is also very easy to make, making it a great option for busy weeknights. Simply toss the spinach, hazelnuts, strawberries, and cheese in a bowl and drizzle with the dressing. Serve immediately and enjoy!
