Spinach Strawberry Salad
Description
Spinach Strawberry Salad features a blend of fresh spinach, juicy sliced strawberries, and green onions, complemented by a homemade poppy seed dressing. The dressing's creamy mayonnaise base is balanced by vinegar and sweetened with sugar, while poppy seeds add mild crunch and texture. Mixing the dressing just before serving ensures the spinach stays crisp. This salad delivers a mix of sweet, tart, and savory notes with a fresh, leafy texture. It is well suited as a side salad for lunch or dinner, especially in warmer weather.
