With this salad, I typically think of enjoying it over the summer; however, right about now, during these cold winter months, fresh and healthy sounds soooo refreshing. The bright colors and fresh produce are enticing to me when I am looking for a new variation to our menu.
Strawberry spinach salad is quick and easy to make, and if one wants to cheat on the homemade dressing -it can easily be purchased from the grocery store ( a personal favorite of mine is the Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette). I always enjoy feta cheese with just about anything, but if you enjoy goat cheese – it will add a little extra flavor and creaminess to this delicious salad – just don’t tell my husband 😉 I hope you enjoy the tastes of summer (during winter), too! It only 10 minutes to “whip up.”
