Notes
- Storage: This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but any leftover spinach strawberry salad can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. To make this salad ahead of time, keep all components separately and then assemble them before serving.
- Tips:
- Use a serving platter or shallow salad bowl with a larger surface area. This makes tossing the salad easier without damaging the delicate spinach leaves.
- Serve the salad chilled for the best flavor.
- Don't overdress the salad. Start low and add more dressing as needed to avoid soggy salad.
