Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Dry the spinach thoroughly so the dressing coats the leaves evenly.
  • Toasting the nuts enhances their flavor and adds extra crunch.
  • Add the dressing just before serving to prevent the spinach from wilting.
  • You can add blueberries or avocado slices for additional variety.
  • Store undressed salad in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
