Ingredients
- 8 cups baby spinach leaves
- 1 cup strawberries stems removed and sliced
- ½ cup blueberries
- ½ cup red onion thinly sliced
- ½ cup poppy seed dressing click link for homemade recipe
- ½ cup pecans chopped (or use walnuts or almonds, candied
- ½ cup ricotta cheese dollops (or use goat cheese or feta cheese)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss the spinach leaves, strawberries, blueberries and red onions with the poppy seed dressing.
- Top with the chopped candied pecans and dollops of ricotta cheese, then serve immediately.
Notes
- If you want to switch up the salad dressing, feel free to use a balsamic vinaigrette or lemon vinaigrette, in place of the poppy seed dressing.
- To add protein to the salad and make it a meal, I recommend topping the salad with either lemon rosemary chicken, honey mustard chicken or balsamic salmon.
- This recipe serves 2 as a meal (without added protein), or 4-6 people as a side dish. If you’d like to double this recipe to serve 10-12 people at a backyard bbq or 4th of July party, simply click the 2X button above. The ingredient amounts will automatically update for the new serving size.
- This salad is naturally gluten free, using the ingredients shown above.
- To make this recipe vegan, omit the ricotta cheese. Candied pecans or glazed pecans are traditionally made with egg white or butter. So be sure to check the ingredients if adding them to the salad. You might have to make a vegan version yourself, or just add plain pecans.
