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!

There are many, many strawberry/spinach salads posted here on AR. I’ve tried a number of them and haven’t been disappointed yet. And this recipe is no exception. I did add some chopped green onions because I almost always do. And definitely toast the pecans (350 degrees – 10 minutes – until fragrant). That really enhances their flavor!
