2 cups package of strawberries, rinsed, hulled & sliced
1 (10 ounce) Bag of Spinach
1 cup Candied Pecans
Chicken
Blue Cheese, optional
Gorgonzola Cheese, optional
Poppy Seed Dressing

Steps:

  • If making a large salad, I suggest doing layers. For individual salads, no need for layers.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh spinach leaves. Baby spinach or young spinach leaves are more tender and have a milder flavor.
  • If you don't have mandarin oranges, you can use canned mandarin oranges instead. Be sure to drain and rinse them before adding them to the salad.
  • Use a variety of walnuts for a more complex flavor. Toasted walnuts will add a nutty flavor to the salad, while candied walnuts will add a sweet and crunchy flavor.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients to the salad, such as sliced almonds, crumbled bacon, or shredded cheese.
  • For a lighter dressing, use a vinaigrette dressing instead of the poppy seed dressing. You can also use a store-bought dressing if you're short on time.

Conclusion:

Spinach salad with mandarin oranges and walnuts is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. It's packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it's a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. The sweet and tangy dressing pairs perfectly with the fresh spinach, juicy mandarin oranges, and crunchy walnuts. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
