There’s something truly special about a vibrant salad that combines the freshness of greens with the sweetness of fruit. I remember the first time I tasted a strawberry spinach salad at a summer picnic — the sun was shining, and each bite was like a burst of flavor. It’s quickly become a favorite in our family, especially during the warmer months when fresh strawberries are at their peak. This salad is perfect for those lazy weekend brunches or as a light dinner option when you want something quick and refreshing.

One tip I love to share is to use fresh, organic spinach for the best flavor and texture. And if you’re feeling adventurous, consider adding some toasted nuts for an extra crunch or crumbled feta for a creamy contrast. It’s a versatile dish that can adapt beautifully to your tastes.
