A fresh and vibrant Strawberry Spinach Salad featuring sweet strawberries, crunchy pecans, creamy goat feta cheese, and a tangy poppy seed dressing. This easy-to-assemble salad is perfect for a quick, healthy meal or side dish.


Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 1.75 ounces fresh baby spinach
  • 8 strawberries, hulled and sliced in half
  • 1 ounce pecan halves
  • 1.75 ounces goat feta cheese

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons Poppy Seed Salad Dressing


Instructions

  1. Prepare Salad Base: Layer the fresh baby spinach evenly in a serving bowl, individual bowls, or plates to create the base of the salad.
  2. Add Strawberries and Pecans: Arrange the hulled and halved strawberries over the spinach, then sprinkle the pecan halves to add crunch and nutty flavor.
  3. Add Feta Cheese: Crumble or scatter the goat feta cheese on top of the salad ingredients evenly for creamy texture and tanginess.
  4. Dress the Salad: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of poppy seed salad dressing over the assembled salad just before serving to add a sweet and tangy finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
  • Toasted pecans enhance the nuttiness if desired.
  • Substitute goat feta with regular feta or goat cheese if preferred.
  • Adjust dressing quantity based on personal taste and dietary needs.
  • This salad is best served immediately to keep spinach crisp.
