Spinach, Strawberry and Walnut Salad image

I went to a wedding this past summer and had a delicious spinach salad. I was able to reproduce it quite well and am sharing it here. It's absolutely delicious on a hot summer day and the sugar encrusted walnuts make it extra tasty.

I thought this salad was just okay. The flavors didn't really come together for me. I'll probably stick to my usual salad recipe.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with a different dressing.

I've made this salad several times now and it's always a hit. I love the combination of flavors and textures. It's also a great way to get my kids to eat their spinach.

I tried this salad for lunch today and it was amazing! The strawberries were so sweet and juicy, and the walnuts added a nice crunch. I'll definitely be making this again.
