Spinach Salad with Strawberries

Hi thinkingoutloud, I really like the sound of this salad as enjoy strawberries mixed with savouries such as black pepper or salmon, plus I love raw spinach. I'm just really curious though as how to combine the two as they aren't in season at the same time and I would never touch frozen spinach as way too soggy.

I make this same salad and it is always a crowd pleaser! I like the fact that you are getting all your vitamins & minerals with the spinach & strawberries pared together. Here is another recipe that I have tried that I found on All Reicipes. Give this one a try. I think you will like it too! Spinach Salad with Peaches and Pecans Cook Time: 10 Minutes Ready In: 20 Minutes Yields: 4 servings "Crisp spinach, succulent peaches and aromatic pecans pair with poppyseed dressing in this terrific salad." INGREDIENTS: 3/4 cup pecans 2 ripe peaches 4 cups baby spinach, rinsed and dried 1/4 cup poppyseed salad dressing DIRECTIONS: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange pecans on a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, until they just begin to darken. Remove from oven and set aside. 2. Peel peaches (if desired) and slice into bite-sized segments. Combine peaches, spinach and pecans in a large bowl. Toss with dressing until evenly coated, adding a little additional dressing, if necessary.

Hmmm. Sounds like fusion kitchen mixing strawberries with spinach. I don´t really dislike spinach, but find it rather boring. But mixing it with it with all the ingredients you mentioned here it must be delicious. Thanks for recipe.

wow..this is easy and sounds great, combining the spinach and strawberries!..one question..do you toast the sesame seeds before adding them?

Oh we make this all the time. We do it a litle different though. We don't use the almonds. We use strawberrys and feta cheese crumbled on top. Oh my the cheese with the strawberries and poppy seed dressing is fabulous. I thought it was going to be kind of gross before I tried it. Now we have it all the time and bring it when we go to dinner at a friend or families house. It's always a big hit at cookouts.
